ATFX, a global online trading provider, has announced the appointment of Dany Mawas as its Chief Executive Officer for Africa. This strategic move reinforces ATFX's commitment to strengthening its presence and operations across the African continent.
The appointment follows a period of significant regional growth, largely driven by the collaboration between ATFX Connect and L7 Prime under Mr Mawas's leadership as CEO and Co-Founder.

Under this new leadership structure, ATFX aims to further enhance both its B2C and B2B operations across Africa, integrating global institutional infrastructure with deeper local market expertise and execution capabilities. This expansion targets the dynamic growth regions within the continent, capitalising on the momentum generated from recent collaborations.

What stood out most was Dany’s leadership, his understanding of the market, and his ability to execute with speed and precision.
