FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Retail FX and CFDs broker D Prime (formerly known as Doo Prime), has made redundant its entire Cyprus based marketing team.
D Prime’s marketing team was led by Chief Marketing Officer Marilena Iakovou (pictured above), and Head of Marketing Mariliza Karrera, who have both left the company. Marilena and Mariliza had joined D Prime together in 2023 from M4Markets, where they held similar roles. The pair had come together to M4Markets from Tickmill in 2020 as the broker was launching, alongside a number of other Tickmill executives. Marilena had also previously worked at Orbex and at IronFX, while Mariliza had previously worked at PrimeXM.
We had reported last month that a call center in Malaysia servicing D Prime clients in China and across the Far East was raided by police, as part of a wider operation in the country targeting financial scams. However we understand that the current changes at D Prime were decided upon before that occurred.
D Prime is the offshore (Mauritius and Vanuatu domiciled) CFDs brokerage arm of Doo Group, targeting mainly Chinese and APAC region traders. The group also operates “onshore” licensed businesses in Cyprus (Doo Financial Cyprus Limited) and the UK (Doo Clearing Limited). Doo Group is controlled by Chinese national Junjie Chen.
