Johan Koo Joins CMC Markets APAC & Canada as Institutional Sales

Sydney-based business of CMC Markets has appointed Johan Koo to a senior sales role within its institutional operations. He joins the group's institutional arm, which provides a bespoke brokerage service for banks, brokers, funds and trading desks, with immediate effect.

Johan will be focused on further developing the global sales of CMC Markets' growing wholesale brokerage, as well as technology sales and client acquisition.

Prior to landing at the Australian broker, Johan had served in an analogous role with Sydney-based FX and CFDs broker, ACY Securities. He also spent more than two years as Head of Trading and Senior Derivatives Dealer at easyMarkets, based out from Sydney, New South Wales. This was preceded by a short stint as a senior corporate trader at the Australian subsidiary of Canadian firm, FIRMA Foreign Exchange.

Earlier in his career, Koo worked for nearly three years as a Sales Consultant/PBE at HSBC, his LinkedIn profile shows.

He joins the institutional business arm of UK's biggest spread better after it has recently upgraded its tech stack to facilitate faster price construction across a wider range of asset classes that are available to their institutional client book. Their clients now have access to an additional 60-plus spot FX pairs and precious metals.
