FNG has learned that Dubai based startup CFDs broker Neomarkets has hired Dominique El Khoury as its CEO.
Dominique El Khoury spent the past two years at SquaredFinancial, serving as Global Head of Business Development MEA & GCC, out of SquaredFinancial’s Dubai offices. He was previously Head of Sales and Business Development MENA region for ATFX, and has also worked at Axi, and ADSS.
Neomarkets’ Sales Director Muhammad Kaleem has also joined the company from SquaredFinancial.
Neomarkets (at website neomarkets.com) was first established as an offshore (Mauritius) broker, and earlier this year received a UAE SCA Category Five “introducers” license, for subsidiary Neomarkets Mena For Financial Consultation & Financial Analysis.
Dominique posted the following note today on social media regarding his move to Neomarkets.
I’m excited to announce that I’ve taken on the role of Chief Executive Officer at Neomarkets Group Ltd. NEO Markets, a forward-thinking financial institution licensed under Category 5 by the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).
We’re building something bold and future-focused — stay tuned for what’s ahead.
To all those I’ve worked with and learned from: thank you, and I look forward to reconnecting and collaborating in this new era.
Let’s grow, lead, and shape the future of financial markets — together.
At the same time, I recently concluded a deeply meaningful chapter with SquaredFinancial, where I served as Global Head of Business Development and Market Analyst for the Middle East and Africa until April 2025.
I want to sincerely thank the incredible team I had the pleasure of working with over the years — your collaboration, trust, and ambition made every day a rewarding experience, despite a lot of challenges.
My relationship with Philippe Ghanem, the founder of Squared, goes back to 2005, and I remain grateful for the professional bond and shared vision we’ve nurtured over the past two decades. I wish Philippe and the entire team continued success, especially with your upcoming venture in the US.
