Admirals Is Expanding

Admirals, which rebranded from Admiral Markets in 2021, expanded last year by obtaining regulatory licenses in South Africa and Kenya. The broker is moving towards taking over a Seychelles-registered securities dealer to strengthen its global operations further.

Meanwhile, the broker has witnessed several executives exiting their roles in previous months. Two of the most significant departures from the firm were of Roman Krutyanskiy and Jens Chrzanowski. Krutyanskiy was Admirals’ Country manager for Germany, and Chrzanowski served as the Regional Director of Germany, Austria, Swiss and the Netherlands for more than 11 years. The broker’s Regional Marketing Manager, Veronica Imasheva also left last November.
