Let’s take a look at the executives who have taken on new roles and experiences in our roundup of executive moves of the week.

Foulds from OvalX moves to Alvar Financial after 20 years
Mark Foulds, who served as head of spreadbetting sales at UK retail broker OvalX (formerly ETX Capital) for 20 years, has left the company. Currently, he will join Alvar Financial Services Limited as Co-Head of High Net Worth Trading. The move comes after the company officially ceased operations in March.

Credit Suisse’s European M&A Head Joins Deutsche Bank
William Mansfield, the veteran who spent the last 27 years at Credit Suisse, left the Swiss bank to join Deutsche Bank. Most recently, he was responsible for mergers and acquisitions for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
His departure came just weeks after rival UBS acquired Credit Suisse in a CHF3 billion deal, backed by the Swiss government. However, the deal has caught the attention of Swiss prosecutors who are currently investigating it. Recently, lawmakers in the lower house of the Swiss parliament rejected the government’s decision as a token vote.
Exness promotes Shayma Ghanim to country director
Exness, a leading FX and CFD provider, has promoted Shayma Ghanim, its former senior key account manager and team leader for the Middle East and North Africa, to country manager. Ghanim announced the new role on Wednesday via LinkedIn.
Ghanim’s promotion comes two years after joining Exness in his former role. Writing on LinkedIn, the executive noted that she hopes to leverage the experiences and knowledge she gained in her previous role “to help further drive Exness’s growth in the region.”
Although the leader did not mention the region she will be working in in her LinkedIn post, her profile on the professional networking platform shows that the role is a hybrid role based in Cyprus.
Exness promotes Samantha Hooi to head of events
Exness, a leading forex and CFD trading provider, has promoted Samantha Hooi, one of its Event Managers, to Event Manager. Hooi announced his promotion on LinkedIn on Tuesday.
The elevation comes nearly six years after Hoo joined the brokerage firm in July 2017 from its office in Lumpur, Malaysia. Speaking about the promotion, Hoo expressed his excitement at the “opportunity to bring even more energy and success to our partners and customers.”
