• 2001 - 2010

I joined GFT (now part of Gain Capital/Forex.com), in 2001, when it had only two salesmen and it was a little known company with very limited resources out of Ada, Michigan and when GFT had less than one Million Dollars in net capital. I was one of the three main architects and drivers of GFT's success to a world leader position, during my time at GFT, in FX and CFD trading.

I was one of the three main architects and drivers of GFT's success to a world leader position, during my time at GFT, in FX and CFD trading. As Global Head of Institutional and Retail Sales and one out of only three Executive Committee Members including the owner, I was responsible for business planning, hiring, training, managing and setting up and leading all of GFT's Institutional and Retail sales offices/companies in New York, Chicago, Grand Rapids, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore and Dubai. I was responsible for setting sales strategy, quotas, price policies, profit targets, business planning and execution of the sales and business plans. I assisted the company in getting registered in many countries and helped GFT to report and deal with various countries regulatory bodies and was responsible under the regulations for GFT's global sales and business effort. I was instrumental in GFT's subsequent success and explosive revenue generation and business growth, globally. The sales revenues that I managed and I delivered to GFT, during my 9 years, had one of the highest profit margins in the industry and one of the lowest costs in the industry. I was the main closer of major institutional sales deals that GFT successfully won. I was responsible for making many of GFT's policies from scratch. I was responsible for reviewing new products, all major sales agreements, and pricing policies and approve them. I was also responsible for recruiting and hiring many of the company's executives and higher profile senior managers and training many of them. As Global Head of Sales and New Business Development, I managed and maintained one of the best sales compliance records for Retail and Institutional sales efforts in the industry.
