Capital.com appoints former APCO veteran as Chief Strategy Officer

Global online trading platform, Capital.com, has appointed Mamoon Sbeih as Chief Strategy Officer. In this role, Mamoon leads corporate strategy, government relations and corporate communications as the platform expands into new markets and jurisdictions.

Mamoon brings 27 years of experience in strategic communications across the Middle East and North Africa. He spent close to a decade at the World Bank as an External Affairs and Aid Coordination Officer, joined BCW in the UAE in 2003, and moved to APCO in 2006, where he served as Managing Director of the MENA region, Regional President from 2017, and most recently Chief International Business Development Officer, as well as MENA Chairman.

Commenting on the appointment, Viktor Prokopenya, Founder, Capital.com, said, "Mamoon spent two decades building APCO's business across the Middle East. He was Regional President and a widely known figure in regional government relations. That combination of public affairs and strategic communication experience is exactly what we need as Capital.com expands into new markets and jurisdictions."

Mamoon said, "Capital.com is building something structurally different. It's a platform designed around better decisions, not faster ones. Having spent my career helping governments and global businesses navigate complexity and communicate with precision, I'm looking forward to bringing that same discipline to how we tell Capital.com's story as we grow."
