ROSTRO Continues Team Expansion, Hires Mitesh Vaghela to Head Products

ROSTRO Financial Group, which recently acquired forex and CFDs broker Scope Markets, has onboarded Mitesh Vaghela as the company’s new Group Chief Product Officer. According to Vaghela’s Linkedin profile, he is based in London and joined the company earlier this year.

Vaghela is an expert in the trading industry with more than 16 years of working experience with several popular forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) brands.

Earlier, he was the Director of Product at Equiti Capital for three years, but he left that role in July 2021.

Vaghela spent almost all of his career working in the trading industry. He started in October 2005 as a Dealer with City Credit Capital. Later, he joined the UK operations of Alpari where he spent more than three years. There, he also worked with the CEO of Scope Markets,
Jacob Plattner who had held a couple of executive roles.

Additionally, he had year-long stints at Integral Development Corporation and London Capital Group as Solutions Managers at both companies. He joined GKFX in late 2015 as an E-FX Solutions Manager and parted as the Global Head of Business Development in July 2018.

Building the Team

Founded in 2020 by Roger Hambury, ROSTRO is focused on capital markets and digital assets. The company bought Scope Markets last month in an all-cash deal, citing that the two businesses complement each other with little operational and market overlap.

Meanwhile, Vaghela is not the only appointment that ROSTRO has made in recent months. It has onboarded industry veteran, Michael Ayres, also from Equiti Capital, as the Group CEO last January. Most recently, ROSTRO added John Murphy as its Global Head of Retail Operations, Finance Magnates reported earlier.
