FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Michael Kamerman, the longtime CEO of Retail FX and CFDs broker Skilling, has resigned his position and left the company.

Michael Kamerman joined Skilling as CEO in 2020. Prior to Skilling, Michael spent 15 years at FXCM, starting in 2005 as a Sales Associate before rising through the ranks, running FXCM’s Customer Service division, and being named Managing Director in 2017, and effective “#2” at the company to CEO Brendan Callan.

Skilling was founded in 2016 and is controlled by former Betsafe CEO André Lavold. While operating under a Cyprus CySEC license, the company is managed from several locations including the southern Spanish resort town of Marbella where Michael Kamerman is based, as well as Cyprus, and London. Skilling’s Chairman is former Capital.com CEO Jon Squires.

Michael Kamerman posted the following note today on social media regarding his departure:

Today marks my last day as Skilling’s Group #CEO. 2023 was a record year for the company with all-time highs in new clients, active clients, trading volume, net revenue and EBIT performance. With the strong team they have, 2024 will be even better.

I would like to thank all of our investors, the Skilling board, and especially all of the Skillers both past and present for all of their dedication for the past three years.

I look forward to announcing my next chapter in mid-April.
