KIRA Financial Appoints Sophie Stabler as Head of Global Partnerships

FNG has learned that Dubai-based CFDs broker KIRA Financial has appointed seasoned industry executive Sophie Stabler as its Head of Global Partnerships.

In this role, Stabler will focus on forging long-term relationships with introducing brokers worldwide and collaborating with business developers across various markets.

Stabler previously spent five years at FP Markets as Chief Business Development Officer for MENA and has held positions at IC Markets, Leverate, and XM. She has recently advised several regulated CFD brokerages on strategy and operations.

KIRA Financial, which rebranded from Cara Markets last year, was founded by Kiran Pethani of Cara Jewellers. The firm secured a UAE CMA Category One license in mid-2024 and has since recruited several industry veterans, including former ADSS director Hasan Hamd as Chief Commercial Officer.
