CFI Financial Onboards Carla Nemr to Expand Presence in “Key Regions”

Carla Nemr left the newly launched Tauro Markets after about five months to join the established forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) brand, CFI Financial Group, as the Global Director of Business Development.

Announced today (Wednesday), in her new role, she will focus on expanding CFI’s presence in key regions, developing long-term relationships, and enhancing business development strategies that align with the firm’s global ambitions.

“My focus will be on strengthening partnerships, identifying new opportunities, and driving sustainable growth as we take CFI to even greater heights,” Nemr said in a statement.

A Seasoned Trading Industry Executive

As Finance Magnates reported earlier, Nemr joined Tauro Markets last year as the Chief Commercial Officer. She was one of the early executive hires at the broker launched by Alexander Oelfke, the former CEO of BDSwiss, who is also heading it as the Chief Executive. The other two co-founders of the platform are David Dubrulle and Konstantin Oelfke.

Before Tauro Markets, Nemr spent about eight years at Tickmill. She joined the broker as the Head of Global Business Development and later held the position of Chief Business Development Officer. She has over two decades of sales experience across industries and has worked with other retail brokerage brands, including Amana Capital, FXTM, and Alpari.

CFI’s Growing Dominance

Nemr’s appointment at CFI came as the broker continued to expand its presence. Months after acquiring a local brokerage firm, it recently opened a new office in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. It also appointed Ilgar Rustambayl as the CEO of its Azerbaijan unit.

CFI, established in 1998, operates regulated entities across several regions, including the UK, UAE, Jordan, and Lebanon. The company provides retail trading services through its online platform, offering features such as zero-spread accounts and commission-free trading on select products.

In December, CFI expanded into South Africa and appointed Zihaad Israfil as the local CEO.

The brokerage saw a sharp rise in trading volume last year. As reported by Finance Magnates, CFI processed $1.12 trillion in trading volume during the last three months of 2024, setting a new record for the firm.

Commenting on Nemr’s appointment, CFI’s co-founder and Managing Director, Hisham Mansour, said: “Her deep understanding of global markets will be key in strengthening CFI’s position as a leading trading provider.”
