Months after stepping down as the Chief Financial Officer at CMC Markets, Albert Soleiman has joined a London-based company offering web design, web development, and online marketing services, according to an update on his LinkedIn profile.
Until recently, Soleiman was the Chief Financial Officer at CMC Markets, based in London. Prior to that, he was the Head of CMC Invest UK.
Experience from CMC Markets
In February, CMC Markets announced that Soleiman had stepped down from his role with immediate effect. The London-headquartered broker also confirmed that he ceased to serve as a director of the company.
According to the broker’s statement, the decision was made by CMC’s board and agreed upon by Soleiman. The company has yet to disclose who will succeed him as CFO.
“On behalf of CMC Markets plc, I would like to thank our outgoing CFO, Albert Soleiman, for his contributions to the firm over his long tenure with the company and in his roles as CFO and as a director. I wish him the very best in his new endeavors,” said Lord Peter Cruddas, CEO of CMC.
Previous Roles
Soleiman spent much of his career at CMC Markets, which he first joined in 2005 as a Tax Manager for Asia Pacific. He later became Head of Tax in 2008 and also served as Head of Client Asset Management.
After 14 years with the London-headquartered broker, he left in November 2019 and joined Bitfury as the Global Tax Director.
He returned to CMC in mid-2020 as Group Head of Corporate Development and went on to lead the launch of CMC Invest, serving as Head of CMC Invest UK. His second tenure at the broker lasted until February, when he stepped down as Chief Financial Officer.
David Fineberg assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer at CMC Markets Investments Limited, the operator of the CMC Invest brand, following Soleiman’s exit. Fineberg also continues to serve as Deputy CEO of CMC Markets Group.
Between his two stints at CMC, Soleiman worked as Global Tax Director at Bitfury for eight months. Earlier in his career, he was a Tax Consultant at KPMG and a Senior Tax Advisor at William Buck. He is also a qualified Chartered Accountant.
