London based prime-of-prime broker and liquidity solutions provider iSAM Securities has announced that it has hired Alex Papoutsas as Sales Director, strengthening its new Cyprus office in a strategic move to enhance client support across the region.
Following his undergraduate studies at UCL and postgraduate studies at Imperial College London, Alex began his career in Finance in prime brokerage with industry leaders including NatWest Markets and Citibank. His transition from this to the prime-of-prime sector was a natural next step having gained unique oversight of this client base in his previous roles. Intrigued by the nuances and opportunities presented by this niche, Alex returned to Cyprus to head up the sales teams as Director of Prime Services at 26 Degrees.
Alex’s expertise in the Cypriot and EMEA markets will help to further consolidate iSAM Securities’ position as a globally trusted liquidity provider by strengthening the level of local support in the region.
Alex shared his thoughts on his new role, commenting,
“iSAM Securities has always been a leading liquidity provider for retail brokers but, over recent years has significantly developed both its technology and liquidity offerings to cater to an increased institutional client base. The addition of Apex, Radar and Surge shows a deep commitment to the needs of iSAM Securities’ clients and a dedication to innovation in a fast-moving market.
“I was very interested in iSAM Securities’ journey as the group has transitioned from being the top of it’s kind as a prime-of-prime to succeeding as a market maker with truly unique oversight of retail flow. This is an exciting opportunity, and I look forward to learning from a team of experienced colleagues and contributing to the company’s continued success.”
Chris Twort, Head of Trading, iSAM Securities added,
“We are thrilled to welcome Alex to the Cyprus office. With him on board, we are well positioned to strengthen our regional presence by supporting clients locally, something which we truly pride ourselves on.”
