CFI Financial Group has appointed veteran FX
technologist Michael O’Sullivan as Senior Technology Advisor, adding depth to
its technology leadership as it refines how it runs a multi-region trading
infrastructure. The Dubai-headquartered broker brings in O’Sullivan
after a string of senior roles across the retail FX and CFDs sector.
O’Sullivan joins the firm in a newly created advisory
position that reports into the chief executive and executive leadership team.
In this role, he supports efforts to strengthen technology operations across
the different regions where the group offers its trading services.
New Senior Role at CFI
Based in London, O’Sullivan brings around 20 years of
experience in technology roles within the retail FX and CFDs industry. He joined CFI in October, according to his
professional profile, after serving as Chief Technology Officer at Hantec
Markets, where he also oversaw technology for the group’s retail proprietary
trading arm Hantec Trader.
O’Sullivan also worked as the CTO at INFINOX from
early 2021 and helped deliver that firm’s multi-asset trading platform,
following earlier stints at ATFX and CMC Markets. At ATFX UK, he was the Head of Project Management,
while at CMC Markets he dedicated 15 years to Head of Partnerships role.

The appointment of O’Sullivan follows CFI’s recent
move to bring in former INFINOX executive Vivek Mehta as Chief Technology
Officer, signaling a broader build-out of its senior technology bench.
Regional Outreach Alongside Tech Upgrades
Last July, Hantec Markets reshuffled three senior management roles with one internal promotion and two external appointments,
promoting Norayr Djerrahian to Chief Commercial Officer while hiring Tim Hughes
as Chief Strategy Officer and Vivek Mehta as Chief Technology Officer, with
Hughes and Mehta joining in early July and Hughes replacing Djerrahian in the
CSO role.
And towards the end of last year, CFI Financial Group
promoted Charbel Saleh to Global Head of Business Operations, after he served
as Business Development Project Partner since last year.
The group also opened its Bahrain office around the
same time and appointed Yaseen Alsamerrai to lead the operation, adding another
location to the online broker’s Middle East network.
