CFI Financial Group has announced the addition of Dr Demetrios Zamboglou as the company’s new Group Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective immediately.

Dr Zamboglou is a veteran of the trading industry with 15 years of experience in financial services and will join CFI’s Management team having spent the past 5 years working in a variety of fintech companies in operations and C-level positions.

The company stated that the new appointment aims to strengthen the Group’s executive team amid continued growth and expansion across all territories globally. Demetrios comes from a strong educational background and holds several degrees including a Masters in Engineering, a Masters in Finance and a PhD in Behavioural Finance. During his career, he has worked for some of the industry’s most prominent trading vendors including Alpari UK and Libertex Group (formerly Forex Club).

The addition of Dr Zamboglou to CFI’s ranks serves to fulfil the company’s continued mission to develop and implement the most cutting edge technology and avant-garde working processes to streamline existing functions such as order management, trade execution, customer service and CFI’s growing e-commerce presence.

The hire of Dr Zamboglou by CFI marks the second major executive move it has made in Dubai in the past month. We recently reported that CFI promoted Nidal Abdel Hadi to CEO of CFI Dubai.
