Exness, a global FX and CFDs broker, has strengthened its leadership team with the hiring of Ahmed Badr as its Sales Team Lead for MEA. He already joined the company in July, according to his Linkedin profile.
In his new role, Badr is responsible for building and managing a portfolio of Premier Accounts (VIP customers) in MEA for the brokerage firm. He will stress both onboarding new clients and growing and retaining existing accounts.
His appointment came when Exness was on a hiring spree and onboarded many prominent industry executives in key roles. Additionally, the broker’s commitment to grow in the MENA region can be seen from another recent appointment of Wael Makarem as its Market Strategist.
Other big names who joined the company this year are Marko Jagustin, Shlomi Dubish, Nabil Mattar and Damian Bunce.
An Expert on Growing Business
Badr has a strong track record in sales and customer services with almost two decades of work experience. He worked at several top brokerages and mostly focused on their business in the MENA region.
Prior to his role at Exness, he had a short six months stint at easyMarkets as a Regional Business Development Manager. Moreover, he spent a two-and-a-half-years at ForexTime (FXTM) in the role of Business Development Manager MENA.
He was exposed to the Forex trading industry in 2011 when working as an Introducing Broker for Star Account, and later, he spent a significant amount of time at ICM.com and ThinkMarkets in multiple roles.
Meanwhile, Client activities at Exness are skyrocketing as it reported record trading volumes for July. In addition, the UK unit of the broker reported a significant jump in its revenue for 2020. Furthermore, the broker is expanding its global presence and acquired a South African license earlier this year.
