FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Cyprus based Retail FX and CFDs broker M4Markets has hired FX industry veteran Marios Antoniou as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Marios Antoniou joins M4Markets after being part of a group which attempted to launch a new offshore FX brand called Invaxa, where Mr. Antoniou acted as CEO. He was previously the Executive Director of CySEC licensed broker EverFX, which was recently rebranded to Axiance. Marios has also worked in senior dealing desk roles at TopFX and at IronFX.

M4Markets also began life as an offshore FX/CFDs brand, but late last year acquired CySEC licensed company ICC Intercertus Capital Ltd, which it has since renamed Harindale Ltd. ICC used to operate the Axiance brand, and before that EverFX, where as noted Mr. Antoniou was a senior manager.
