Howard Spooner appointed SEO of Sigma Capital Partners MENA Limited

Sigma has hired Howard Spooner, a former managing director at Goldman Sachs, Barclays and Deutsche Bank, to run the broking firm’s growing Middle East business.
Spooner, who has over 35 years’ experience, joined Sigma Broking’s Dubai-based arm this month, pending regulatory approval as a Senior Executive Officer (SEO) from the Dubai regulator.
Matthew Kent, chairman of Sigma Broking, said: “We are excited to welcome Howard to our fast-growing Dubai-based business. His expertise positions Sigma perfectly to benefit from the huge opportunities in Dubai and across the Middle East.”
Spooner ran his own advisory firm for two years after leaving in late 2022 Deutsche Bank where he worked for over seven years as the bank’s London-based managing director, head of European equities.
