About Scope Markets
Scope Markets was taken over by Rostro Group earlier this year, and we reported at the time that one of the company’s key plans was to increase the broker’s footprint in the MENA region and internationally. After the acquisition closed Rostro named former Skilling, CMC Markets and Alpari UK executive Pavel Spirin as CEO of Scope Markets. The company also named former OANDA exec John Murphy as Chief Revenue Officer; hired Equiti exec Yaser Zidan as MENA Sales Manager; and added Antonia Droussiotou from Skilling, and Joshua Mahony from IG.
