Nicolas Shamtanis, the former Chief Executive Officer of brokerage firm BDSwiss, has returned to professional life after a six-month sabbatical leave. Shamtanis announced his return today (Tuesday) on LinkedIn, noting that he started running both ‘broker-as-a-service’ provider, Netrois, and payment and compliance solutions provider, Red Acre, as Chief Executive Officer in April.
BDSwss appointed Shamtanis as its CEO in March last year, tasking him with leading its global presence and expansion plans. The executive joined the financial and investment services provider in September 2021 as Deputy CEO.
However, Shamtanis's profile on LinkedIn shows that he exited the role in October last year after only eight months in the role. The senior executive brings about 16 years of forex industry experience to his new leadership roles at Netrois and Red Acre.
Netrois supports forex and crypto brokerages with ‘fully customized, technology-advanced premium trading solutions. On the other hand, Red Acre provides back-office solutions, including compliance, payments and general support, to financial services companies. According to Shamtanis, both firms are part of a larger fintech group that owns or co-owns companies such as TradeLocker, Zeply, Cryptopanic, FunderPro & Cryptochill.
[I am truly humbled to be leading such talented teams, and I am genuinely inspired by their dedication and commitment to excellence,] Shamtanis wrote in the LinkedIn post. [Together, we will strive to create products that bring much-needed innovation to an industry which hasn’t seen any for a very long time.]
Apart from BDSwiss, Shamtanis over the last decade and a half has worked with two renowned online trading firms, Exness and easyMarkets. Before joining BDSwiss, he served as the Head of B2B Sales at Exness and was the forex broker’s Chief Sales Officer in Malaysia throughout 2019.
Shamtanis started his career in 2007 as a Senior Dealer at easyMarkets and rose to the position of Chief Business Development Officer in September 2013. He was later appointed as Chief Commercial Officer in 2014.
