Scope Markets hired seasoned executive Samer Alkhaldi as Regional Head for MENA. Scope Markets confirmed the appointment this week, highlighting Alkhaldi’s more than ten years of experience in FX and financial services.

Extensive Industry Experience

Based in Cyprus, he is expected to help the firm solidify its footprint in key MENA markets, many of which are seeing an uptick in interest from retail traders.

Alkhaldi brings a proven track record from previous roles at Tickmill and HFM (formerly HotForex). He spent nearly a decade at Tickmill, where he helped expand the brokerage’s reach across Arabic-speaking countries. At HFM, his role focused on business development across MENA—a responsibility he now carries into his new position at Scope Markets.

The appointment is part of a broader effort by Scope Markets to boost its global presence. In recent months, the company has made several key hires across Southeast Asia and continues to invest in markets where local language support and regulatory familiarity give it an edge.

Scope Markets' Expansion Efforts

Scope Markets’ latest move also reflects its evolution under the ownership of the UK-based Rostro Group, which acquired the firm in 2023. Rostro, founded by industry veteran Roger Hambury, has been actively building a portfolio in the retail FX, CFD, and crypto trading space.

Since the acquisition, the group has installed a new leadership team and signaled ambitious plans for expansion. Alkhaldi’s arrival marks another step in Scope Markets’ regional strategy. With MENA remaining a competitive and increasingly tech-savvy market, the broker is betting on local expertise and seasoned leadership to capture more of the retail trading segment.

Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
