Rostro Group, the owner of Scope Markets and Scope Prime, has hired Oliver Ryan as its new Head of Trading Operations.
Ryan joins the firm from rival brand Exinity, which operates several brands, including FXTM and Nemo. He spent two years at the firm on the company’s trading desk.
Ryan got his start in the online trading industry in 2018, when he joined the London office of Equiti Group.
He worked for Equiti for just under two years, before moving into another trading operations role at London-listed broker CMC Markets.
After working at CMC Markets for a year and a half, he moved to institutional broker Advanced Markets, where he spent two years on the trading team. He then moved to Exinity in September of 2023.
Rostro Group building its trading team
Ryan is the second Exinity executive to move to Rostro. Earlier this year, the brokerage group hired Sammy Christou as its Managing Director for Systematic Market Making.
The company also has long-time industry executive Saul Knapp working as Chief Risk Officer and covering the broker’s exchange-traded derivatives products.
Since taking over the Scope Markets business in 2023, Rostro Group has expanded in a number of different regions, across both its B2B and B2C business lines.
The B2B line, for example, has been extremely successful in Kenya. At the same time, the group has grown its retail presence significantly in ASEAN, as well as East Africa.
