Amana Capital UK CEO Adam Toro Steps Down
The financial statement follows closely on the heels of the announcement that Adam Toro, the CEO of Amana Capital UK, had stepped down from his position. Finance Magnates reported the news, which broke only yesterday. After we reached out to the broker and Toro, both parties confirmed that his departure was the result of a “mutual amicable agreement.”
Toro, who has served as the CEO for the company since November last year, revealed to Finance Magnates that he is still not sure what his next move will be. However, he wished Amana UK the best in their future endeavors.
