EC Markets Marketing Director Nick Xydas Steps Down

​Nick Xydas has stepped down as Group Marketing Director at EC Markets after about two and a half years at the forex and contracts for differences broker. Neither his next position nor a successor has been disclosed.

Xydas announced the decision on LinkedIn, describing his tenure as an "incredible chapter." He said EC Markets had almost no global marketing function or presence when he joined, while the company now has an established team, office, and international brand.

"I could not be prouder of every single member of my team and what we achieved together," Xydas wrote. He also thanked EC Markets CEO and Chairman Matthew Smith for trusting him from the start.

Xydas cited the multi-year partnership between EC Markets and Liverpool FC as one of his proudest achievements. The broker signed the agreement with the English Premier League club in 2025, becoming its Official Global Partner as part of a sponsorship-led marketing strategy.

Earlier this year, EC Markets appointed Nicholas McGregor as Sponsorship and Partnerships Manager in London. The former eToro executive will manage activation and relationship management for the Liverpool FC partnership and other sponsorship projects. The company has not said who will assume Xydas' broader global marketing responsibilities.

EC Markets appointed Xydas as Marketing Director in 2024. He joined from Cyprus-based technology company Matworks, where he served as Chief Marketing Officer. His earlier career included roles at FXGT, Eurotrader, and Totalserve Group, spanning more than two decades in brokerage, financial services, payments, and technology.
