Demetrios Zamboglou Joins CFI Dubai as Chief Operating Officer

Dr. Demetrios Zamboglou has joined Credit Financier Invest (CFI) Dubai in the capacity of Group Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Zamboglou brings nearly 15 years of experience to CFI-DIFC, which has been authorized by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to operate as a Category 3A entity since 2017. He has been assuming an advisory role with Genesis ‎Vision, which operates a decentralized trust management platform ‎built on blockchain technology and smart contracts, for nearly three years. He also held an analogous position at blockchain startup ThePower.io since June 2018.

Prior to that, Zamboglou spent a little over one year at UK-based decentralized bank BABB, preceded by five months as a Chief Operating Officer at ICON Capital Reserve.

Other stops also include serving as European CEO and global chief business development officer at Swiss blockchain startup Lykke Corp. He holds a PhD degree in Behavioural Finance from King’s College London.

Despite his many crypto-related roles, Mr. Zamboglou is a FX and CFD veteran with over a decade’s experience in trading, risk management and operations. He spent the bulk of his career, which dates back to 2005, within the retail industry, having held senior positions at Alpari (UK), ForexClub, ForexTime and also setting up his own FX brokerage zebraFX in 2012 before selling the business in 2015.

Credit Financier Invest (CFI) Dubai, which recently promoted Nidal Abdel Hadi to chief executive officer, is an online trading provider and part of the CFI Group with several entities around the world.

Credit Financier Invest is also registered at the Register of Commerce of Beirut and regulated by the Central Bank of Lebanon to provide several services with emphasis on financial brokerages.
