Nadine Azzam, Partner-CEO MENA, Tauro Markets
Finance Magnates revealed that leading regulated broker, Tauro Markets, has added to its senior team by securing the services of Nadine Azzam, a highly-experienced professional who will take up the role of Partner-CEO MENA.
She will join its management board and be responsible for all business development activities in the company, with a particular focus on broker expansion in the thriving Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
In a major coup for the company, the addition of Azzam brings in further valuable expertise to the Tauro Markets team. She possesses more than a decade of industry expertise, spanning numerous top-tier organisations.
Her previous high-profile roles include Vice President of Sales, Senior Business Relationship Manager, and Head of the MENA region at the likes of Equity Group, Amana Capital, XTB, and Vantage.
Azzam’s stellar CV is a testament to her incredible work ethic, strategic vision, and unwavering dedication to achieving success. Over the years, she has demonstrated an exceptional ability to lead teams, drive sales, and build strong client relationships, earning her a reputation as a results-driven professional with an innate understanding of the brokerage landscape.

She is the perfect fit for what we are looking to achieve in terms of future growth strategy, offering a unique approach when it comes to acquiring partners and traffic.
“What sets her apart is her multi-faceted ability to connect with well-established IBs who have been operating in the market for years, while also sourcing, managing, and developing influencers on a global scale across various social media platforms.”
Continued expansion in 2025
Strategically headquartered in the increasingly dominant financial hub of Dubai, Tauro Markets has already achieved significant growth in an impressively short period of time, boasting a client base of more than 10,000, alongside 40,000+ daily trades and 50M+ USD daily trade volume.
Despite being relatively new on the scene, it continues to push the boundaries thanks to a strong focus on cutting-edge research, innovation and development. It now has more than 100 highly-skilled staff working across various departments including technology, compliance, customer support, and business development.
The multi-asset investment platform is targeting global expansion, assembling a talented team of professionals equipped with the knowledge required to pursue future business opportunities in the MENA, Latin America (LATAM), and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions.
Demonstrating its commitment to fund security, the multi-asset CFDs broker is fully licensed and regulated across multiple jurisdictions including in Mauritius, Kuwait, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines, while it is also in the process of applying for further regulatory licenses.
