FNG has learned that Australia based Retail FX and CFDs broker Blueberry has hired Bogota, Colombia based executive Jeffrey Navarro as its new Head of LATAM.

Jeffrey Navarro is the second senior hire that Blueberry has made in as many months in the LATAM region, after the company earlier added former STARTRADER executive Mario Saudino as LATAM Regional Manager, in Mexico.

Jeffrey Navarro spent the past two years as Regional Manager LATAM for Israel/Ireland based CFDs broker AvaTrade. He has also previously worked for Taurex, Tickmill, Axi, and FXCM, in a CFDs industry career spanning 18 years.

Blueberry was founded in 2016, and is controlled and run by Founder and CEO Dean Hyde, who had previously worked at leading Australia based broker Axi. The Blueberry brand operates an ASIC-licensed business in Australia at website au.blueberrymarkets.com, as well as an offshore Vanuatu domiciled unit at blueberrymarkets.com.

Jeffrey posted the following note on LinkedIn regarding his move to Blueberry.

I am very happy to share that I’m joining good old friends Ajak Biar & Mario Saudino at Blueberry. For those who know me you know I love building projects and definitely inspired by what Dean Hyde is doing and has planned for us.
