Award-winning Spread Betting and CFD broker ETX Capital today announces the resignation of its CEO Arman Tahmassebi. Mr Tahmassebi had been with ETX for 3 years, joining as COO in 2016 after 1 year as COO at London Capital Group and 14 years at IG. Under Mr Tahmassebi’s leadership, ETX has delivered excellent performance through 2018 and he leaves the company in a very strong position heading in to 2019.
