NAGA, a Germany-based fintech company, has recruited Matthew Kent, a capital market professional, as its Director of Institutional Sales. Previously, Kent held the same position for over two years at the multi-asset retail broker, Eurotrader.

Kent announced his new role at Eurotrader on Wednesday on LinkedIn. The executive in a career spanning over 15 years has worked for organizations, such as Valens Banking Group, INFINOX Capital, City Index and CMC Markets, majorly in London-based roles.

Kent’s Career

Before Eurotrader, Kent worked for over a year at Valens Banking Group. He served as the private investment bank’s Global Head of Sales for Capital Markets between April 2019 and June 2020.

Between January 2016 and March 2019, he was the Director of Sales and Head of Relationship Manager at Cap-One Consultancy. On top of that, he was the Sales Director and Relationship Manager at Knightsbridge Capital Markets between April 2015 and January 2016.

At INFINOX Capital, Kent served as the online trading platform provider’s Sales and Relationship Management Director for over five years, starting in August 2010. Before that, he was similarly an Institutional Sales Trader and Relationship Manager at City Index, a forex and CFD broker and subsidiary of GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc.

Furthermore, Kent performed in the same capacity at CMC Markets for a year between 2007 and 2008. In other roles, he was a Senior Wealth Manager at Sky Capital, and a Wealth Management Advisor at the defunct London-based wealth management firm, Arjent, between February 2004 and July 2005.

Other Appointments

Kent’s selection follows other executive appointments NAGA has done in recent months. In July, the firm hired Stelios Eleftheriou as the Managing Director of NAGA Pay and NAGA X, its payments division and crypto investment platform, respectively. Eleftherious’ appointment follows NAGA’s expansion into new fintech verticals.

In June, NAGA tapped Antonis Monogios, who is its Head of Portfolio Management, to lead its dealing team, almost two years after the executive joined the firm as a Senior Dealer.

Meanwhile, the NAGA Group secured a license in Seychelles last month to accelerate its global presence. Benjamin Bilski, NAGA’s Founder and CEO, noted that the authorization will enable the company to strengthen its banking and payment relationships.
