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.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
