Pepperstone Names Osama Hamdan Head of Sales for the Middle East

Pepperstone has appointed Osama Hamdan as Head of Sales for the Middle East as the global broker expands its operations across the GCC and wider MENA region.

Hamdan joins Pepperstone after more than five years with XTB, where he most recently held the position of Director of Business Development. He built a strong background in sales management, client acquisition, business development, and financial markets during his time at the company. His previous experience also includes senior commercial roles at Axi and ADSS.

At Pepperstone, Hamdan will oversee the company's Middle East sales strategy. His responsibilities will include expanding business development efforts, attracting new clients, strengthening existing accounts, and developing partnerships across the region.

Hamdan thanked his former colleagues at XTB for the opportunities and professional relationships he gained during his time there. He said leaving a company that played an important role in his career was difficult and wished the team continued success.

He also welcomed the opportunity to join Pepperstone, pointing to the broker's international reputation for trader-focused services, advanced trading technology, competitive conditions, and client support. Hamdan said he looks forward to working with clients and partners as Pepperstone grows its presence in the Middle East.

Marc Boever, Pepperstone's Head of EMEA, called the Middle East one of the company's most active and important markets. He said Hamdan's industry background, commercial experience, and understanding of regional markets would help the broker strengthen client relationships and support growth across MENA.

The appointment follows Pepperstone's continued investment in its UAE and Middle East operations. The broker has expanded its local presence with a Dubai office and a UAE Category 5 license, in addition to its existing entity regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority.

Founded in 2010, Pepperstone gives clients access to global markets through products such as foreign exchange, indices, commodities, shares, and cryptocurrencies. The company says it has more than 900,000 traders and operates 12 offices worldwide.

Hamdan's appointment adds experienced regional leadership as Pepperstone builds relationships with traders, business partners, and financial market professionals across the Middle East.
