Demetrios Zamboglou, who held executive positions in multiple forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) brokers, has joined BlockFills as the General Manager for the UAE operations. According to his LinkedIn profile, he has already assumed the Dubai-based role.

An Expanding Crypto Company

BlockFills is a provider of digital asset trading technology and liquidity solutions. As seen on the company’s website, it has more than 1,220 institutional clients across over 75 countries and has handled $20 billion in trade volume.

The company is focused on partnerships, as it recently integrated Centroid Solutions' institutional-grade connectivity platform, Centroid Bridge, aiming to provide brokers and institutional clients with a centralized environment for price management, execution, and comprehensive reporting.

An Impressive Career

Zamboglou brings about 18 years of industry experience to his new role at BlockFills. His most recent role was serving as the Group Chief Executive Officer at Doto, a Cyprus-based FX and CFDs broker, which he left in October 2023 after almost a year of joining. He was also the Group Chief Operating Officer at CFI Financial Group for a couple of years.

He started his career in 2006 as a Market Risk Analyst at SpreadCo, a UK-based financial spread betting and CFD provider. Later, he moved to the Alpari Group (now Exinity) as the Vice President of Risk Management, a role he held for more than three years. He had another tenure of a year at Exinity as General Manager.

He also worked at the Moscow offices of the Libertex Group as the Head of Market Risk and was promoted to the Chief Risk Officer after a year. However, he only spent a year and five months in that company. He even founded and operated the now-closed Zebrafx, which was focused on the Chinese market.

His exposure to the blockchain industry includes roles as an Advisor for companies like ThePower.io, Blockpass, Non-Zero Blockchain Software, and Genesis Vision. He also served as the Chief Operating Officer at BABB for almost a year and the European CEO of crypto exchange Lykke for another couple of years.
