From Trader to Industry Leader
My career in the financial markets began nearly a decade ago when I first stepped into the world of trading. Like many, I was initially drawn by the thrill of the markets, but over time, I realized that the real power in this industry lies beyond trading—it’s in understanding the business behind it. This realization led me to transition from trading to the corporate side of brokerage firms, where I could shape strategies, build teams, and drive growth.
Throughout my career, I have successfully navigated retail business, B2B sales, and money management, with a proven personal sales track record exceeding $30 million. This experience has given me a deep understanding of both client acquisition and institutional partnerships, allowing me to drive growth at every level of the financial sector.
Over the past seven years, I’ve held senior positions with globally ranked brokers, including Finalto, Infinox, and Doo Group—some of which are classified among the top 10 financial institutions worldwide. During my tenure:
* At Finalto Group, I served as Vice President of Global Sales for the Retail Arm, leading international expansion and revenue growth.
* At Infinox, I was Head of Sales for the Middle East and Africa, developing region-specific sales strategies to drive market penetration.
* Currently, at Doo Group, I am Head of Global Sales, overseeing a sales force of over 1,000 employees and managing global sales operations across multiple markets.
Additionally, I am the Founder of Trust Markets, Co-Founder of Alpha Traders, and actively involved as a General Advisor to TibiGlobe.
TibiGlobe is a promising brokerage with strong potential for global expansion, and I have ambitious plans to elevate it to a high-level competitor in the industry. My goal is to play a senior role in shaping its growth, strengthening its market presence, and positioning it as a major player in the financial sector.
A Defining Moment That Shaped My Approach
One of the most pivotal moments in my career was realizing that success in this industry isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people. Early in my leadership journey, I saw that brokers who focused solely on short-term profits often struggled with long-term sustainability. This realization led me to develop business strategies that prioritize client relationships, team development, and sustainable growth rather than just quick revenue wins.
This mindset inspired me to found Trust Markets, the first business development company globally dedicated to the FX industry. Trust Markets helps brokerage firms achieve their KPIs by onboarding IBs, clients, and money managers while also assisting brokers in expanding into new regions based on their specific needs. Our reach extends across MENA, Africa, Asia, Europe, and LATAM.
What makes Trust Markets unique is its sponsorship model, where we fund and guide potential IBs and financial market content creators looking to scale their businesses. We cover marketing, operational expenses, and expansion costs, allowing them to work exclusively with Tier 1 brokers under our contracts.
Additionally, Trust Markets provides brokers with tailored sales teams from any region, ensuring they have the right resources to grow and scale. We also operate structured training programs, equipping professionals with the skills needed to thrive in the financial industry—offering employment contracts upon course completion, making career transitions into top-tier brokerages seamless.
Balancing Long-Term Goals with Daily Operations
Leading large-scale sales operations across multiple regions requires balancing long-term vision with daily performance. To manage this effectively, I follow a structured but adaptable approach—setting clear annual targets while ensuring each quarter has actionable milestones. This method helps my teams stay focused on long-term expansion without losing sight of immediate execution.
Another key element is delegation and empowerment. I strongly believe in hiring top talent and giving them autonomy, allowing me to focus on strategic expansion while ensuring that day-to-day operations run efficiently.
The Future of Financial Markets: What’s Next?
The financial industry is evolving at a rapid pace, and I believe technology will be the primary driver of transformation over the next five years. Some of the most impactful advancements include:
* AI-Powered Trading & Customer Support – AI-driven analytics will enhance trading strategies, while automated support will significantly improve client interactions.
* Blockchain & Decentralized Finance (DeFi) – Traditional brokers will need to integrate blockchain technology to stay competitive and meet evolving client expectations.
* Regulatory Technology (RegTech) – Compliance automation will become a game-changer, making it easier for brokers to adapt to dynamic regulatory landscapes efficiently.
Staying ahead in this industry requires embracing innovation rather than resisting it. The firms that leverage these technologies will be the ones that dominate the market in the coming years.
Building a Culture of Growth
For any team to thrive, continuous learning and professional development are essential. I encourage my teams to stay updated on industry trends, participate in training programs, and develop new skills.
Through mentorship and structured coaching, I help my team members see their careers beyond just sales targets—focusing instead on long-term professional growth. Trust Markets plays a vital role in this effort, providing structured learning programs that not only train individuals but also create future industry leaders.
A Game-Changing Initiative
One of the most impactful initiatives I’ve been a part of was implementing new regional sales strategies at multiple brokerage firms. These strategies focused on customizing sales approaches based on the cultural and economic factors of each region. The result? Significant revenue growth and successful market penetration.
Another major success was founding Trust Markets, which became the first business development company in the forex industry to offer guaranteed employment contracts after training. This model disrupted traditional recruitment practices by proving that structured education can lead directly to career success in the financial sector.
Additionally, my vision for TibiGlobe is to strategically expand its operations and establish it as a major competitor in the brokerage industry. By leveraging my expertise in global sales, market expansion, and business development, I aim to drive TibiGlobe’s growth and enhance its market positioning on a global scale.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs in Finance
For those looking to build a career or business in the financial industry, my advice is simple:
1. Understand the Business First, Then Master the Market
Many enter the field with the goal of trading, but true success comes from understanding how brokers operate, how they generate revenue, and how to build a scalable business model.
2. Surround Yourself with Industry Experts
Learning from those who have been in the industry longer will accelerate your professional growth and help you avoid common pitfalls.
3. Be Adaptable
The financial markets, regulations, and technology are constantly evolving. Only those who embrace change and stay ahead of industry trends will thrive.
4. Focus on Sustainable Success
While short-term profits can be tempting, building a career or business with long-term vision is far more rewarding and ensures lasting success.
The financial industry is one of the most lucrative sectors globally—not just for traders, but for those who understand its business dynamics. By focusing on the right strategies, anyone can achieve high-income success and long-term stability in this field.
Final Thoughts
The financial markets are evolving, and so are the opportunities within them. My journey from trader to industry leader has taught me that knowledge, adaptability, and strategic vision are key to success. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, an IB, or a financial professional looking to grow, investing in the right business strategies will always yield long-term rewards.
I remain committed to empowering professionals in this industry, expanding Trust Markets, leading Doo Group’s global sales, and strategically growing TibiGlobe into a high-level competitor. The next five years will bring new challenges and exciting opportunities—and I look forward to leading the way in this ever-evolving landscape.
