easyMarkets Welcomes New CEO Koula Lamprou and COO Garen Meserlian
easyMarkets is proud to announce an important milestone in its journey: a leadership transition designed to strengthen our global strategy, enhance our client offering, and continue building toward a more innovative future.
After more than a decade of dedicated leadership, Nikos Antoniades will be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer. Nikos first joined the company in 2007 and took on the role of CEO in 2014. Since then, he has been a driving force behind easyMarkets’ evolution from navigating major regulatory changes to expanding into new markets and elevating our trading platforms. His contribution has helped shape easyMarkets into a trusted global broker known for transparency, stability and trader-first values.
Introducing Our New CEO: Koula Lamprou
Stepping into the role of CEO is Koula Lamprou, a long-standing leader within easyMarkets with more than 16 years of experience in senior financial and operational positions. Koula combines deep institutional knowledge with a modern, collaborative leadership style that reflects the values our clients and teams rely on.
Her proven expertise in strategy, financial stewardship and operational growth makes her the ideal person to guide easyMarkets into its next chapter. Koula has played a key role in strengthening our internal processes and ensuring that the company continues to deliver consistent value to traders around the world.
Reflecting on her appointment, Koula shared:
“I’m honoured to step into the role of CEO. With the strong groundwork already in place, we are ready to elevate our vision, staying true to our values of innovation, transparency and a relentless commitment to empowering traders globally.”
Strengthening Our Operational Excellence: Garen Meserlian Named COO
easyMarkets is also pleased to announce the appointment of Garen Meserlian as Chief Operating Officer. Garen’s background in brand strategy, consumer behaviour and digital transformation has already helped reshape our marketing direction and enhance our digital presence.
As COO, he will take on a wider responsibility for ensuring our operations, platforms and teams remain aligned with our long-term vision and our mission to make trading accessible, fair and intuitive for every client.
A Leadership Transition Rooted in Strength and Continuity
Outgoing CEO Nikos Antoniades commented on the transition:
“These changes reflect the strength of our leadership and the company’s commitment to continuous evolution. I am proud of what we have accomplished so far and confident that under Koula’s and Garen’s leadership, easyMarkets will achieve even greater success.”
We are immensely grateful to Nikos for his dedication, vision and service over the years. His legacy remains at the heart of easyMarkets; grounded in transparency, innovation and a genuine commitment to traders.
