Founder Departs NAGA after Capex.com Acquisition
Ben Bilski, the Founder of NAGA Group, announced his departure from the company as the Chief Information Officer, just three months after Capex.com's acquisition of NAGA, as reported by Finance Magnates. Bilski's exit coincides with his pursuit of a new startup venture. Having founded NAGA in 2015, Bilski transformed it from his SwipeStox concept into a publicly listed forex and CFD broker.
Previously serving as the CEO until June 2023, he expressed a desire to return to his platform vision roots. NAGA has been expanding into payment solutions and cryptocurrencies and have seen significant growth, with 2023 revenue reaching EUR 45.5 million and EUR 7 million in EBITDA. This is a marked improvement from the prior year's EUR 13.7 million loss.
