Retail FX and CFDs broker STARTRADER has appointed Daniel Petro as its new Head of Partnerships, expanding its leadership team as part of a wider recruitment drive.

Petro, who will be based in Dubai, joins from Markets.com, where he served as Head of Global Sales. His career also includes senior positions at MultiBank, where he was Head of Institutional Sales, as well as FXBFI and Rodeler Limited, operator of the 24option brand.

STARTRADER has been actively building its executive ranks in recent months. Notable additions include Chief Commercial Officer Moe Padhani, Head of Operations Allan Maira, Client Operations Specialist Clarice Frost, and LATAM Manager Vinícius Danze. The company has also expanded into the B2B space with STARprime, led by former INFINOX CEO Jay Mawji, with Samin Aref Zaher brought in as Head of Trading for the division.

The group operates under several regulated entities worldwide. Its licenses span multiple jurisdictions, including the UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and regulators in South Africa, Seychelles, and Mauritius.

With Petro's appointment, STARTRADER is aiming to strengthen its partnerships and global network while leveraging the experience of executives who have worked across major international trading brands.
