Turnbull joins the firm following senior tenures at ODL Securities and FXCM Europe, where he focused on institutional sales and cross-market business development. His arrival aligns with a broader strategic shift at Pepperstone toward proprietary technology ownership, a move intended to provide greater control over client experiences in diverse regional markets. Marc Boever, head of EMEA, noted that the appointment reflects a commitment to localized leadership in a region defined by distinct regulatory environments and trader profiles.
Pepperstone Taps Andrew Turnbull to Direct African Expansion
Nairobi serves as the new operational anchor for Pepperstone as the global broker intensifies its footprint across Africa. Andrew Turnbull, a veteran with two decades of experience in financial services, takes the helm to navigate the continent's fragmented regulatory landscape and the rising demand for mobile-first trading platforms.
Kenya remains central to this strategy. As the country operates under the Capital Markets Authority, it serves as a testing ground for the broker's compliance-led approach. Turnbull plans to leverage Kenya's mature regulatory framework as a blueprint for expansion, emphasizing that while appetite for online trading is surging across the continent, success depends on tailoring services to the specific needs of individual trading communities.
