Siege FX Appoints COO

Peer-to-peer trading infrastructure provider Siege FX has appointed Tina Kokkinos as chief operating officer.

Kokkinos joins from HSBC, where she held senior roles including global FX cash business manager and more recently COO and regulatory lead for EMEA. Siege says she gained vast experience in FX and the challenges facing the industry to meet changing regulatory, digital and client needs during this time.

Kokkinos joined HSBC in 2012 following other roles at Marsh, Liquid Capital and JP Morgan and started her career in commerce as a qualified management accountant working at Coca Cola. Her areas of expertise include transformation, technology, operations, risk and governance, Siege says.

“As we achieve critical mass with our initial spot offering, scale-up our operations and then look to deliver solutions in FX derivatives, [Tina’s] experience of global markets best practices and the regulatory environment are an invaluable addition to our team,” says Claude Goulet, CEO of Siege FX.
