Louis
Cooper will step down as Chief Commercial Officer of online trading firm Axi at
the end of September, ending a 26-year career that saw him hold senior
executive positions at three major players in the forex and CFD industry.
Cooper joined
Axi in 2016 and spent nearly nine years helping transform the company from
a regional Australian trading firm into
a global broker serving clients across more than 100 countries. He will
remain a shareholder in the company following his departure.
The
executive’s career in foreign exchange and contracts for difference trading
began in 1999 when he joined CMC Markets as managing director for Australia and
New Zealand, a role he held for 13 years until 2012. He
then moved to OANDA as managing director for the same regions from 2013 to
2015 before joining Axi.
Nine-Year Transformation
at Axi
Cooper’s
tenure at Axi coincided with significant growth for the Sydney-based firm. As
global head of retail from 2016 to 2019, then
as Chief Commercial Officer from 2019 onward, he oversaw the company’s
expansion across key markets including Southeast Asia, China, the UK, Europe
and the Middle East.
“Louis
has played an integral role in building Axi into the global brand it is
today,” CEO Rajesh Yohannan said in a statement. “While we will miss
him, we are immensely grateful for his contributions and pleased that he will
remain connected to Axi as a shareholder and ongoing supporter of our
mission.”
Cooper
participated in Axi’s 2022 management buyout, becoming one of the company’s
leading management shareholders when the executive team acquired the business
from private equity investors.
Industry Veteran Reflects
on Career
Looking
back on his time with Axi, Cooper expressed confidence in the company’s future
direction under its current leadership team.
“It
has been a privilege to be part of Axi’s remarkable journey,” Cooper said.
“I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. I leave
knowing that Axi is in strong, capable hands, and I have absolute confidence in
the Executive and Senior Management Team to take the company forward to even
greater heights.”
The company
has not yet announced Cooper’s successor or provided details about additional
leadership changes. Axi offers forex, CFD, cryptocurrency, indices and
commodities trading to retail clients globally.
