Taurex has appointed Matthew Wright as its Global CEO, marking his return to the role four years after he previously stepped down. The decision follows a year in which Wright served as a Non-Executive Director (NED) at the CFD broker, sitting on the board and supporting oversight and strategy.
According to Wright, the Board approached him to take over the CEO position, and he accepted the offer. He resumes leadership of the global business with immediate effect. Commenting on the move, Wright noted that stepping back into the role after four years was a rare and meaningful opportunity and that he was pleased to return to the position following his recent experience as a NED.
Leadership Background and Industry Experience
Wright announced in March that he had rejoined Taurex as a Non-Executive Director, a part-time role he took up last July. In this capacity, he has been involved in board-level oversight and strategic support for the brokerage.
His career spans several senior roles across the brokerage sector. Most recently, he served as Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Exinity between 2023 and 2025. Before that, he held the CEO position at Capital Index for nearly four years and briefly led Destek Markets UK. Earlier in his career, Wright worked at Gain Capital for close to nine years, serving as Chief Operating Officer for EMEA and overseeing regional operations for the Forex.com brand.
Taurex’s Rebrand and Strategic Direction
In 2023, Zenfinex rebranded as Taurex as part of a broader strategy to introduce a proprietary trading app and a suite of trading tools for clients at all levels. The rebrand followed leadership changes at the group, including Founder Nick Cooke returning as CEO after Wright, then Group CEO, stepped down and joined Exinity as Group COO.
Alongside the rebrand, Taurex has been expanding its global footprint and strengthening its offering through partnerships and regulatory milestones. Wright’s return as Global CEO comes against this backdrop of strategic development and ongoing growth initiatives at the brokerage.
