Salim Sebbata
BUX is taking a leading role in shaping the future of how people invest. Brokers must adapt to the needs of a new generation and BUX has a unique understanding of what they require. Doing good for clients has always been at the forefront of how I viewed my role in the world of online brokerage. Part of the appeal of joining the team at BUX is that they truly live by the philosophy that they always want the client to succeed. I look forward to building on the foundation that has been laid, to help drive further growth and to continue to expand on the opportunity in the market that we see now.
With over 25 years of experience, Sebbata has been in various executive roles in the global markets, trading and investing industry. He served as UK Director at Livemarkets Ltd. and Head of Business Development at Trade.com. Sebbata was also the Vice President of Merrill Lynch, Frankfurt and headed up international sales at E*TRADE.
