Ashraf’s expertise brings tremendous insight to Stater – he knows the Prime of Prime segment particularly well, has in-depth knowledge about the futures market and has a wealth of Board-level experience for FCA regulated entities and innovative FinTech companies. In fact, Stater was one of the early adopters of muinmos’ technology, which enables us to on-board clients quickly and ensure they remain compliant.”

Stater’s momentum and energy has huge appeal to me. I have always enjoyed working with fast growth businesses with high calibre teams, which is what attracted me to Stater, and I am looking forward to playing a key role in Stater’s future development as a global market leader.”
