Scope Prime announced on Friday that Gaby Kanj has joined its team.
Kanj is the Chairman of market data firm Bakara Invest.
He was also a managing director at MENA-focused brokerage group CFI, where he worked for close to a decade. Kanj left CFI in 2018.
“Gaby brings with him a wealth of industry, product and regional experience that will provide significant value-add to the MENA team at Scope Prime,” said Scope Prime CEO Daniel Lawrence.
“We are working with a growing number of financial institutions in the area and are receiving ever more complex requests for assistance as more entities gain a fuller understanding of what we do. Gaby’s extensive first-hand experience will be invaluable both for us and the companies we work with.”
Scope Prime, the institutional arm of Rostro Group, has made several senior hires during the last three months.
This week the firm confirmed that Lochlan White had joined the company as Chief Commercial Officer.
The company has also hired ex-Maybank executive Miranti Rostian as Head of Southeast Asia and Andrew Taylor as Head of APAC. Taylor previously held senior roles at IC Markets and ACY Securities.
“I’m delighted to be joining Scope Prime at a time when the company is going through a rapid phase of expansion,” said Kanj. “Both the global footprint and the development of a highly sophisticated tradable universe of assets reflect the company’s desire to innovate and I’m confident that my market experience will support these goals.”
