These senior hires underscore Taurex’s commitment to enhancing its market position, driving innovation, and solidifying its presence in key global markets.

James Watts Joins Taurex as Commercial Director

James Watts, a veteran in the FX and CFD industry, has been appointed as the new Commercial Director at Taurex. With a career spanning over 16 years, James has earned a distinguished reputation for his exceptional leadership and expertise in sales, business development, and commercial strategy.

His previous roles include senior positions at renowned trading and finance firms such as IronFX, London Capital Group (LCG), Multibank Group, and Alpari UK, where he played pivotal roles in driving revenue growth and expanding market share.

His most recent position was as Senior Executive Officer at Evalect Group, where he oversaw key commercial activities and contributed to the firm’s expansion in the MENA region.

At Taurex, Watts will be tasked with spearheading the company’s commercial operations, focusing on accelerating growth in the MENA region and other strategic markets. He will also play a critical role in enhancing Taurex’s client acquisition strategies, leveraging his extensive network and deep industry knowledge to forge new partnerships and strengthen existing relationships.

Tim brings nearly two decades of experience in the FX and CFD industry, having held senior roles in risk management, trading, liquidity and institutional sales at some of the most respected firms in the sector, including Multibank, Liquidity.net, FXCM Pro, GKFX, and Alpari UK.

His career has been marked by his ability to navigate complex financial markets and implement frameworks that protect the interests of firms and their clients.

Rudland shared his thoughts on his new role, stating: “It’s a pleasure to be welcomed into the Taurex family. Nick and the team have built a great brand and infrastructure over the last few years, so now is an exciting time to join and I hope that I can use my experience to help with the next growth phase of the company.”
