Equiti Group Strengthens Leadership with New Appointments

Equiti Group has appointed Sartaj Singh as Chief Technology Officer, Rick Fulton as Chief Risk and Audit Officer, and Sean Hong as Chief Financial Officer. The appointments aim to support the company's global growth strategy and reinforce its position as a technology-driven multi-asset broker. Singh will focus on integrating intelligence into operational areas, Fulton will oversee risk and audit operations, and Hong will focus on operational efficiency and financial stability. The appointments follow the recent appointment of Yiannos Xenophontos as Group Head of Trading.

Equiti Group, a leading multi-asset broker and fintech provider, has announced a trio of key executive appointments aimed at reinforcing its position as a technology-driven leader in the global financial services sector. The appointments include Sartaj Singh as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Rick Fulton as Chief Risk and Audit Officer, and Sean Hong as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). These roles are part of Equiti's ongoing commitment to innovation, robust governance, and technology-driven expansion.

Sartaj Singh, who previously served as Global Head of Technology at Equiti since December 2023, has been appointed CTO. In this new role, Singh will focus on integrating intelligence across all operational layers, ranging from trading to onboarding, to deliver fast, intuitive, and client-centric experiences. His leadership is crucial in positioning Equiti as a technology-driven leader in the global financial services sector [2].

Rick Fulton has been appointed Chief Risk and Audit Officer. Over the past two years, Fulton has built a high-performing risk management function, significantly improving the company's ability to manage and mitigate key risks across market, credit, and enterprise domains. In his new role, Fulton will continue to lead the development of Equiti's Risk and Audit departments, ensuring that both areas remain aligned with the company's governance framework and strategic objectives, safeguarding the firm's growth in an increasingly complex financial environment [2].

Sean Hong takes on the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) after successfully transforming the company's Finance function since joining in August 2023. Under his leadership, Equiti's finance team has been repositioned as a strategic business partner, enhancing financial performance, improving cost management, and providing critical insights to support the company's ambitious growth trajectory. As CFO, Hong will continue to drive operational efficiency and scalable success, reinforcing the financial foundation needed to support Equiti's global ambitions [2].

These appointments follow the recent appointment of Yiannos Xenophontos as Group Head of Trading, further underscoring Equiti's commitment to innovation and robust governance. The appointments aim to support the company's global growth strategy and reinforce its position as a technology-driven multi-asset broker.

Iskandar Najjar, Group CEO of Equiti, commented, "Innovation is at the core of everything we do at Equiti. As we expand our footprint in global markets, these appointments ensure we remain agile, tech-driven, and client-focused. Sartaj, Rick, and Sean bring the expertise to lead in fast-changing environments and help us set new standards in trading technology, governance, and performance. More importantly, they share our commitment to innovation, client-centricity, and building a stronger, more agile organisation. This is an exciting chapter for Equiti as we deepen our impact and reimagine what the trading experience can be for clients worldwide" [2].

With these appointments, Equiti is poised to continue its path of innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions that align with its long-term goals of market leadership and sustainable global growth.
