Posted by

Forex and CFD broker Skilling Group has announced the departure of its CEO Michael Kamerman, who has been with the company for four years. Kamerman, who joined Skilling in 2020 with over 15 years of experience from FXCM, is being replaced by George Kyriakoudes as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Kamerman reflected on his tenure at Skilling, noting the company’s achievements in 2023, which included record-breaking performance in new clients, active clients, trading volume, net revenue, and EBIT. He expressed confidence in the company’s future success under its strong team.

Under Kamerman’s leadership, Skilling achieved significant milestones, including the launch of the Metatrader 4 platform and obtaining regulatory licenses in Seychelles and authorization from the UK’s FCA. The broker also secured partnerships with Aston Villa football club and chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen.

Kyriakoudes, the new CFO, brings with him extensive experience, having served in a similar position at IronFX for the past three years and at ForexTime (FXTM) from 2016 to 2021. He has also worked at Alpari, demonstrating a strong background in the forex industry.

Skilling, licensed by CySEC in Cyprus and supported by Optimizer Invest’s Scandinavian shareholders, has expanded its services across Europe, with offerings now accessible in Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the UK, as well as the rest of the European Union.

Kamerman’s departure marks the end of an era at Skilling, where he led the company through a period of growth and expansion, replacing co-founder André Lavold as CEO. The company looks forward to continuing its success under Kyriakoudes’ financial leadership.
