Mohsin's career began at OANDA, a retail foreign exchange and CFDs broker based in Canada, where he held the positions of Chief Customer Officer and Managing Director. At OANDA, he played a pivotal role in expanding the company's presence in the US and Canadian markets, as well as spearheading its entry into several APAC markets.
