New CCO at Moomoo
Moomoo uses artificial intelligence to offer an investing
platform for both beginners and experienced traders. It provides real-time data
and a range of analytic tools to assist with sharemarket navigation.
“Moomoo’s innovative platform and dedication to customer
success resonate with my own commitment to advancing financial literacy and
market understanding,” McCarthy said.
“I look forward to working with the talented team at Moomoo
to drive growth and deliver exceptional value to our clients in Australia.”
Meanwhile, Moomoo
