Capital.com Picks Laura Lin as Australia CEO

Capital.com announced on Thursday the appointment of Laura Lin as the Chief Executive Officer of its Australia business. She has already joined the broker in August.

Her appointment came at a time when the London-headquartered company is aggressively expanding its global presence, especially in the Asia-Pacific. The Australian operation of the retail broker is also new as it was only launched earlier this month.

“Capital Com’s breakthrough and success in bringing better platforms and services to traders globally, is what drew me to join the company,” Lin told Finance Magnates. “I am very honored to take on this appointment and extremely excited to grow our Australian presence.”

An Expert in the Aussie Retail Markets

Lin has spent years in several other trading companies and is an expert in the industry. She brought over 11 years of experience in operations, compliance management and corporate growth to her new role at Capital.com.

Before joining Capital.com, she was with Mitrade Group as the Acting Group CEO and Australia CEO. There, she launched the company’s Australia business. She also spent more than eight long years at IG in compliance roles.

She holds a Masters’ degree in management from the Melbourne Business School and started her career in 2008 at the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi.

Lin added: “Achieving a positive client outcome has always been at the forefront of my career. We have a huge opportunity to become one of the best platforms in Australia, through our great offerings, incredibly accomplished local team, and continued commitment to improving the client experience.”

Meanwhile, the focus of Capital.com for regional expansion can also be seen from its other recent hirings. It recently onboarded Chul Lim as the Asia CEO, who will be responsible for the expansion of the brokerage into East Asia and Southeast Asia.
