The foreign Exchange PoP business has been growing briskly in recent years, especially in the aftermath of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) Crisis that hit foreign exchange operators in January 2015.
Access to credit lines at prime brokers has been limited for companies that do not have a fat balance sheet, which has opened a gap in the market. Stater Global Markets launched in October last year aiming to capitalize on the opportunity.
Dohmen joins the London-headquartered PoP after spending over 17 years of his career in legal and compliance roles in Amsterdam and London. Just before he joined Stater Global Markets, the new Head of Compliance of the company was the Director of Compliance & Operations at prop trading firm Ronin Trading UK/Europe.
Throughout his career, Dohmen also served as the Head of Legal & Compliance at Lehman Brothers (ELQ mortgages division) and Compliance Officer at both Fortis Bank and Rabo Securities in Amsterdam.
Commenting on the news, the CEO of Stater Global Markets, Ramy Soliman, said: “David is extremely knowledgeable about the FCA regulatory framework and brings a wealth of experience from banks, brokerages and prop trading firms across a wide range of products and asset classes. This gives Stater excellent optionality going forward regarding our own product offering.”
