Hussein Al Sayed, FXTM
FXTM secured Hussein Al Sayed this week, who joined the group as its newest Chief Market Strategist for the Gulf and Middle East region. Mr. Al Sayed is one of the more visible figures in the world of finance in the Middle East, namely in regard to his experience as a financial analyst and host of CNBC Arabia’s Bursat Al Alam Show. In his new role as the Chief Market Strategist at FXTM, he will help expand the broker’s global focus and brand within both the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and GCC regions.
Remo Fritschi, ADS Securities
ADS Securities reinforced its business in London by adding foreign exchange (FX) sales veteran Remo Fritschi as its Sales Manager of the Institutional Sales team. Mr. Fritschi landed at ADS Securities following a stint at Morgan Stanley as an Executive Director of FX Sales. Fritschi’s tenure at Morgan Stanley was preceded by a long career in FX sales, including State Street, RBS, and Standard Chartered, dating back to 2000.
Eleanor Yuen, Julius Baer
Eleanor Yuen was appointed this week as the Head Wealth & Tax Planning Advisory at global investment bank Julius Baer, boasting upwards of two decades in the financial services industry. Yuen has also held senior roles at Credit Suisse for over eleven years, holding additional roles in trust administration and marketing at Citibank, Schroder Investment Management, and HSBC International Trustee Ltd.

Previously he held senior level positions at leading venues such as Markit, Broadridge, Fiserv, and SWIFT.
Arman Tahmassebi, ETX Capital
ETX Capital appointed a new Chief Operating Officer (COO), tapping ex-London Capital Group COO Arman Tahmassebi as its man. He stepped into the role this week after garnering roles across a number of FX brokerages, including at LCG, and IG Markets as Global Head of Operations.
Lucera’s CEO Jacob Loveless relinquished his role with the company and parted ways with the group this week to found his own consultancy firm. Lucera’s existing Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Peter Durkan stepped into the role of CEO for Lucera in his stead. The new consultancy will focus on large scale telecommunications (telecom) companies with emphasis on data center, IaaS, SDN and NFV design and operation.
