Veteran Nick Spencer-Skeen Joins UAE-Based Trading Platform Provider

Nick Spencer-Skeen, the former Chief of Staff, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), at StoneX Group, has joined Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based APM Capital Limited as a Senior Executive Officer.

APM Capital Limited was established in May 2021 and provides order execution and trading platforms to industry actors.

Spencer-Skeen left StoneX Group, an institutional-grade financial services network, in December last year.

He joined the Group, which was previously known as INTL FCStone, in January 2011 and would spend almost 13 years in the organization before his departure.

“Helping to build an exciting new business in UAE,” Spencer-Skeen wrote on his LinkedIn profile.

APM Capital Limited is authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of the Abu Dhabi Global Market, which is one of the UAE’s international financial centres and free trade zones.

“We are continuously striving to provide our clients with an unparalleled trading experience that is always fair and transparent,” the newly-established firm described itself on LinkedIn.

“We are proud to provide immediate order execution, and our trading platforms cater for many unique and innovative tools, all while ensuring the highest levels of security,” the company added.

A Long Career Experience

Spencer-Skeen has more than 30 years of experience running post-trade exchange-traded derivative operations from London to Asia across various derivative assets, from commodities to equities.

Before StoneX Group, he worked as the Chief of Operations at Banca IMI, the investment banking division of the Italian international banking group Intesa Sanpaolo Group.

He started working for Banca IMI in June 2000 when the company was still known as Banca Caboto.

At Banca IMI, he handled all post-trade operational activities within the firm’s London branch and focused majorly on the banking division’s exchange-traded derivatives brokerage business.

In addition, Spencer-Skeen spent over two years at Rolfe & Nolan, supplier of software to the futures and options industry, serving as Director of Client Services.

Furthermore, he worked for over six years as the Head of Operations at ING Derivatives which is owned by the Dutch banking group, ING.

Previously, he worked as the Head of Back Office Operations at ING Baring Futures Limited.

Furthermore, he worked with the forex team at the Scandinavian Bank, a defunct Swedish bank founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1864.
