Bunce's professional background includes roles at Saxo Bank, Sberbank, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, and Barings.
Last year, Exness appointed Damian Bunce as its new Chief Customer Officer, succeeding his former position as Chief Trading Officer.
After close to 3.5 years as Exness' Chief Customer
Officer, Damian Bunce recently announced his departure from the company via
LinkedIn. In his statement, Bunce expressed gratitude for his time at Exness,
highlighting the remarkable growth and experiences he encountered during his
tenure.
Bunce reflected on his tenure, acknowledging the
highs and lows yet emphasizing the exceptional growth trajectory he witnessed,
drawing parallels to his days at Goldman Sachs. His departure hints at the end
of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in his professional journey.
A Veteran in the FX Industry
Bunce mentioned: "After close to 3.5 years at
exness, I tendered my resignation last week and will start a new job and a new
chapter in April. Sometimes, when joining a company as a top exec, you get
unlucky; you start when the company is in a hole, and you can’t turn it around
fast enough."
"Sometimes you get lucky, you start when the
rocket is ready for liftoff, and at Exness, I got lucky riding an incredible
growth period, many highs (a few lows of course), but the most incredible
business I ever saw since my days at Goldman Sachs."
Finance Magnates reached out to Bunce for a comment about this latest development, to which he promptly responded, saying it "won't be long" for him to confirm his new position. In a yet-to-be-published interview by Finance Magnates, Bunce said he would never "quit a job without having another one lined up" again.
From Saxo Bank to Exness
Last year, Exness changed Bunce's role from Chief
Customer Officer to Chief Trading Officer, a position he has held since 2021,
Finance Magnates reported. Bunce has held various positions at institutions like Saxo Bank,
Sberbank, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, and Barings.

His previous role as the Chief Customer Officer
involved collaborating closely with Exness' founding shareholders and
cultivating relationships with core infrastructure providers, media outlets,
professional bodies, and key partners and clients.
Bunce's appointment occurred at a significant moment for Exness, with the brokerage witnessing high trading volumes. Recently, Exness embarked on a rebranding initiative. The centerpiece of Exness' rebranding is its new logo, featuring the distinctive "exo" emblem.
