We are delighted to announce the appointment of Matthew Wright as Global Chief Executive Officer of Taurex.
This is not simply a leadership appointment. It is a story of continuity, trust, and a shared belief in what this business can become.
A Familiar Name, a New Mandate
Matthew is not new to Taurex. He was instrumental in shaping the organisation during its formative years, before stepping away from the business approximately four years ago. Last year, he returned in a non-executive director capacity, contributing to board-level strategy and oversight, reconnecting with the team, and seeing firsthand the progress the business had made.
That proximity made the Board’s next decision straightforward. They asked Matthew to step back into the CEO role. He said yes.
In this structure, Matthew will lead the day-to-day operations of the company as Global CEO, while founder Nick Cooke focuses on Taurex’s strategic direction and commercial growth initiatives — a clear and deliberate division of leadership that positions the business for its next phase.
From the Founder
Nick Cooke, Founder of Taurex, shared his thoughts on the appointment:
“It is a privilege to welcome Matt back to Taurex. He brings a deep understanding of our business, extensive industry experience, and a clear alignment with our culture and long-term vision. His leadership will be instrumental as we enter an exciting phase for the company, supported by new product launches that will take Taurex to new heights. I’m looking forward to working closely with him again.”
In Matthew’s Own Words
“Returning to the CEO role was made easy by the enormous respect I have for the people across this business. There is real talent, energy, and commitment here, and I’m proud to be working alongside the team again. To have the opportunity to return in this capacity, after stepping away four years ago, is both rare and incredibly meaningful.”
Why This Moment Matters
Taurex today serves clients across approximately 140 countries, operating across retail brokerage, institutional services, and its funded trader program—Atmos Funded. Following the completion of a USD 40 million Series C funding round, the business is focused on platform development, international expansion, and deepening its regulatory presence globally.
Matthew’s return brings a leader who knows this organisation from the inside: its history, its people, and its ambitions. His decision to come back and the Board’s confidence in asking him to do so reflect the strength of what has been built here and the direction in which Taurex is headed.
