Introducing Omar Qumuq, our new Managing Director for MENA
We are delighted to welcome Omar Qumuq as our new Managing Director for the Middle East, based in our Dubai office. Omar joins us at a pivotal moment as we focus on expanding our presence in the region. He brings with him a wealth of experience in the financial services and trading sectors, shaped by both regional knowledge and a global perspective. Before joining us, he held senior roles at Doo Group, STARTRADER, and MultiBank in the UAE.
Over the course of his career, Omar has built strong relationships across the region, developed a deep understanding of local markets, and shown a proven ability to scale businesses in competitive and highly regulated environments. From day one, he has emphasized that his role is not only about growth in numbers, but about creating long-term value for traders across the region. His vision for EC Markets in the Middle East North Africa is clear: to become a trusted partner that combines local relevance with global standards.
He quotes: “The Middle East is an exciting region for financial markets, my vision is for EC Markets to be a true partner in the region, we want to understand local traders, listen to their needs, and deliver real value. By growing our team and strengthening our presence, we are creating a foundation for lasting impact.”
Under Omar’s leadership, our focus in the region will be to expand our presence by opening new offices across the GCC and other key Middle East North Africa markets. Our Dubai office currently has 30 employees, and we plan to grow this team into the hundreds in the near future. At the same time, we aim to build a strong, knowledgeable team that understands local culture and regulations, while forming partnerships with fintech companies, educators, and regulators to support sustainable growth. Ultimately, our goal is to position EC Markets as a bridge that offers regional investors seamless access to opportunities in global markets.
Omar Qumuq brings the expertise and leadership needed to drive the next phase of our growth in the Middle East, and under his guidance, we will strengthen connections with traders, partners, and regulators, while raising the standard for service and performance across the region. With Omar at the helm, EC Markets is well positioned to expand its presence and deliver meaningful results in the Middle East North Africa.
