FX and digital assets institutional broker GCEX has announced that it has appointed Stanislav Bunimovich, former Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Finalto, as Managing Director, APAC and Strategic Adviser to CEO, Lars Holst.

Stanislav Bunimovich left Finalto earlier this year, as was exclusively reported at the time here at FNG, amid a major management and board overhaul at Finalto which included the departures of CEO Matthew Maloney, R&D head Mikkel Kallerup Olsen, Chief Market Analyst Neil Wilson, as well as Finalto Chairman Paul Hearn and Director Dan George.

Based in Australia, Stanislav Bunimovich will lead the expansion of GCEX’s presence across the region, with a focus on onboarding hedge funds, brokers, family offices and professional traders under the firm’s regulated UK, Danish and Middle East entities, GC Exchange Ltd, GC Exchange A/S, and GC Exchange FZE. His remit includes driving growth across GCEX’s full product offering, with particular emphasis on scaling crypto-related services. He will also draw on his extensive expertise in FX trade flow and trading platforms, delivering even greater value to institutional clients.

Stanislav Bunimovich brings over 12 years of experience from CFH/Finalto (co-founded by Lars Holst), where he rose to COO and Board Member, driving growth and building technology-driven liquidity frameworks. At GCEX, he will collaborate with Founder and CEO Lars Holst to refine APAC growth strategies and expand the company’s product suite.

Lars Holst, Founder and CEO, GCEX commented,

“This is a significant hire for GCEX. Stanislav is widely respected in our industry for driving growth and championing client-focused innovation. His deep insights, network and leadership experience are major assets for GCEX. I’m delighted to welcome him back to my team and confident he’ll supercharge our ambitions across APAC and beyond.”

Stanislav Bunimovich, Managing Director, APAC, GCEX added,

“I’m honoured and excited to join GCEX as Managing Director of APAC and as Strategic Advisor to the CEO. With interest in digital assets from institutional clients in the region at an all-time high, this is an ideal time to be focusing on accelerating GCEX’s growth in the region.  I look forward to partnering with our exceptional team and industry leaders to further expand our footprint in APAC and advance GCEX’s mission of transforming financial markets through digital innovation.”
