In a recent press release shared with Finance Magnates, Michel Chabbouh, a veteran senior executive with more than fourteen years of experience in the fintech industry, has been named by Zenifex, a Retail FX and CFDs broker founded by Nick Cooke, as its new CEO of the MENA region.

In this time, he made efforts to penetrate and grow business in the MENA markets, among other duties. He was elevated from his earlier role as the Business Development Manager of MENA. Over the course of a year, he was the project leader for the SEO, in charge of strategic partnerships, launched and implemented a successful Analyst program to increase equity.

At DailyFX, he became the Head of DailyFX Arabic. From August 2013 to November 2016, as part of his responsibilities, he fabricated DailyFX’s Arabic website from the outset. This required the creation and management of more than fifty pages.
