Ec Markets, a forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) broker, has strengthened its team with the recent appointment of Nick Xydas as the Marketing Director.
Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Xydas noted: “Excited to announce that I've recently joined Ec Markets as Marketing Director, with a vision to propel it into a global brand!”
“Thrilled to contribute to the growth and evolution of this already established powerhouse.”
A Multi-Regulated Broker
Ec Markets offers retail trading services through multiple regulatory licences, including those obtained from regulators in the United Kingdom, Seychelles, and Mauritius. Its offerings include spot forex, metals, crude oil, indices, and cryptocurrency CFDs. However, it does not offer cryptocurrency CFDs in the UK due to local regulations.
Ec Markets Group obtained membership in the London Stock Exchange last year.
"With the company's recent achievement of gaining membership on the London Stock Exchange, we have a solid foundation to propel EC Markets into the forefront of the global financial market," Xydas said.
An Experienced Marketer
Xydas will be joining Ec Markets from Matworks, a Cyprus-based IT company where he was the Chief Marketing Officer for about the last year. Prior to that, he was the CMO at CreditPilot, another Cypriot company specialising in digital and mobile financial services, transactional and payment infrastructure. Matworks and CreditPilot are entities under the same group.
Additionally, he worked in the marketing teams of multiple brokers. According to his LinkedIn profile, he spent about three years at FXGT, a Cyprus-based FX and CFDs broker. There, he joined as the Marketing Technology Manager and later became the Head of Business Development for its Japanese unit.
Xydas' other industry experience includes a two-year stint at Eurotrader, then a nascent forex brokerage where he was responsible for the development, implementation, and execution of digital marketing plans and oversaw the full integration of CRM and client area. Further, he was the Head of Marketing and Communications at Totalserve Group for about three years, when he supervised the tax and corporate services providers’ online and offline presence. On top of that, he planned and implemented the company's market strategies.
"Nick's extensive experience in marketing, particularly within the fintech sector, aligns perfectly with our ambitions for EC Markets," said the CEO of Ec Markets, Matthew Smith. "His appointment underscores our commitment to strategic leadership and innovation as we embark on this exciting phase of growth."
