Former Octa and Scope Markets Head of Dealing Moves to New Dubai-based FX and CFD Broker

After
spending less than a year at Octa Markets as Head of Dealing, Anastasios
Lamaris is transitioning to Tauro Markets, which was launched in 2024. His role
will involve helping develop the broker’s offerings, which aims to focus on
both retail clients and the B2B sector, providing not only traditional CFDs but
also physical cryptocurrencies, stocks, and ETFs.

From Scope and Octa to
Tauro Markets: Same Position, Different Firm

Although
Lamaris began his career in the FX/CFD industry as a senior forex dealer for
Ober Investments, he first held a C-level position at the Cypriot branch of
Scope Markets as Head of Brokerage. He worked there for a total of three years,
with his last year as Head of Dealing & Risk.

In May
2024, he changed employers to the Cypriot Octa Markets, where he held the same
position. After another year, his job title remains unchanged, but he’s now
working for Tauro
Markets. For Lamaris, this also means a change in residence, as Tauro is
headquartered in Dubai.

For Tauro,
this is another C-level appointment following the acquisition of Nadine
Azzam as Partner-CEO for the MENA region in December. Earlier, in October, Carla
Nemr joined the team as Commercial Chief.

A New Player in the FX/CFD
Scene

Finance
Magnates
exclusively reported on the launch of the new brokerage brand Tauro Markets
less than six months ago. In
a conversation with Co-Founder and CEO Alexander Oelfke, who previously
held roles including CEO of BDSwiss, the brand’s goal is to go beyond
traditional CFD services.

The plans
include offering physical stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. While the former
are no longer unusual for clients of most large brokers, physically backed
digital assets remain a rarity.

Moreover,
the company claims that the future lies in B2B, targeting not only retail
clients but also business customers.

“We are
also looking into making our platform B2B-ready in the future because we
strongly believe that the majority of broker platforms will not meet the
requirements of future customers,” Oelfke said in an interview with Finance
Magnates in October.

Tauro
Markets is backed by the Synervest Group and co-founded by Alexander Oelfke,
Konstantin Oelfke, and David Dubrulle.
