ATFX Deepens Regional Expansion with Appointment of Dany Mawas as CEO Africa

ATFX announces the appointment of Dany Mawas as CEO Africa, reinforcing its continued commitment to strengthening its presence and operations across the African continent. Following strong regional growth driven by the collaboration between ATFX Connect and L7 Prime under Dany’s leadership as CEO & Co-Founder, ATFX has expanded its institutional presence across Africa through localised execution, liquidity distribution, White Label infrastructure, payment orchestration solutions, and strategic partnerships tailored to regional market needs.

Under the new leadership structure, ATFX aims to further strengthen both its B2C and B2B operations across Africa, combining global institutional infrastructure with deeper local market expertise and execution capabilities.

Commenting on the appointment, Siju Daniel, Chief Commercial Officer of ATFX, said:

“Over recent quarters, the collaboration between L7 Prime and ATFX Connect generated significant momentum across Africa. What stood out most was Dany’s leadership, his understanding of the market, and his ability to execute with speed and precision. This appointment reflects our confidence in his vision and long-term commitment to the region.”

This momentum has been further reinforced through the continued alignment between ATFX Connect and L7 Prime, which has enabled the combination of institutional-grade infrastructure with strong local execution across key African markets.

Wei Qiang Zhang, Managing Director of ATFX Connect Global, added:

“Africa is one of the most dynamic growth regions for our business. Through our collaboration with L7 Prime, we successfully combined institutional-grade infrastructure with strong local execution. Dany and his team consistently demonstrated the ability to build scalable solutions adapted to the realities of African markets.”

Speaking on his appointment, Dany Mawas said:

“This appointment represents both an honour and a continuation of the work we have been building together for many years. Africa requires local leadership supported by global infrastructure, and that is exactly what we aim to strengthen further. The opportunity ahead across both B2C and B2B segments is significant, and we are only getting started.”

With its continued dedication to expanding its market reach and strengthening engagement across key African markets, ATFX believes Africa will remain one of the most important global growth regions over the coming decade, with the new leadership structure positioning the organisation closer to regional markets than ever before.
