Taurex Reappoints Former Executive Matthew Wright as Global CEO Following Growth Push

Retail FX and CFDs broker Taurex has appointed industry veteran Matthew Wright as Global Chief Executive Officer, marking his return to the company around four years after stepping away from the business.

Wright previously played a key role in Taurex’s earlier development phase before departing the company. He rejoined the broker last year as a Non-Executive Director, contributing to board-level strategy and oversight, and will now take over responsibility for the company’s day-to-day operations as Global CEO.

Under the new leadership structure, founder Nick Cooke will remain focused on strategic direction and commercial growth initiatives, while Wright oversees operational management as the broker continues its international expansion.

The appointment comes during a growth phase for Taurex, which said it now serves clients across approximately 140 countries through its retail brokerage, institutional services, and funded trader division, Atmos Funded. The company also recently completed a USD 40 million Series C funding round aimed at supporting platform development, regulatory expansion, and broader international growth.

Commenting on the move, Cooke said Wright’s return reflects both his deep understanding of the business and alignment with the company’s long-term vision. Wright added that returning to the CEO role was made easier by the strength of the team and the opportunity to help guide the company through its next stage of development.

Wright brings more than 25 years of experience across the FX and CFD brokerage industry, having previously held senior executive and board-level positions at firms including GAIN Capital, Exinity, and Taurex itself.
