FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Dubai based CFDs broker KIRA Financial has hired experienced industry executive Sophie Stabler, as Head of Global Partnerships.

In her new role, Sophie will be focused on building long-term relationships with introducing brokers globally, while working closely with experienced business developers across different markets.

Sophie Stabler spent five years at FP Markets (2019-2024), where she served as Chief Business Development Officer – MENA. She has also previously worked at IC Markets, Leverate, and XM. For the past two years Sophie has served as a strategic planning and operations advisor to a number of regulated CFD brokerages.

KIRA Financial rebranded last year from Cara Markets. The company was established by Kiran Pethani, co-founder and co-owner (alongside his brother Anilkumar Pethani) of Dubai based Cara Jewellers, a premium luxury brands retailer in the UAE. KIRA received a UAE CMA Category One license in mid 2024, and has gone on to hire a number of experienced FX and CFDs industry executives, including former ADSS institutional sales director Hasan Hamd, who is now KIRA Financial Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
