DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Equiti Group, a leading multi-asset broker and fintech provider, is excited to announce three strategic executive appointments aimed at strengthening its leadership team and accelerating its global growth. These appointments underscore Equiti's ongoing commitment to innovation, robust governance, and technology-driven expansion across key markets.

Sartaj Singh has been appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO) following a transformative tenure as the company's Global Head of Technology since December 2023. He has played a pivotal role in advancing Equiti's technology infrastructure, leading a significant transformation that has brought increased stability, scalability, and sophistication to Equiti's core technology platforms, critical enablers of its global growth strategy. As CTO, Sartaj will focus on embedding 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.

Rick Fulton has been appointed Chief Risk and Audit Officer. Over the past two years, Rick 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, Rick 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.

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, Sean will continue to drive operational efficiency and scalable success, reinforcing the financial foundation needed to support Equiti's global ambitions.
