Global multi-regulated broker Hantec Markets has announced two high-profile appointments to its senior leadership team, reinforcing its strategic and technological capabilities amid continued expansion.

Tim Hughes, former UK CEO of TigerWit, joins as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), while Vivek Mehta, previously Head of Technology at INFINOX, steps in as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Both executives will be based in Dubai, a growing hub for Hantec’s regional operations.

Hughes brings over two decades of experience in retail trading, including a long tenure at IG Group and a pivotal role in TigerWit’s market entry strategy. His appointment signals Hantec’s intent to deepen its presence in competitive markets through tailored solutions and strategic alliances.

“We’re focused on sustainable growth and delivering quality trading experiences to informed clients,” Hughes said. “This industry demands agility, and we intend to lead with ideas that matter.”

Mehta, who also held senior roles at AximTrade, will oversee the broker’s technology roadmap, including the expansion of proprietary trading tools. “While MetaTrader remains central to our offering, we see real value in custom-built modules that enhance performance and user experience,” he noted.

The leadership reshuffle also includes the promotion of Norayr Djerrahian to Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), replacing Hayel Abu-Hamdan, who departed earlier this year to join HFM. Djerrahian will spearhead commercial strategy across Latin America and other emerging markets.

The appointments come as Hantec Markets continues to evolve its offerings, including 24/7 crypto CFD trading and the launch of prop trading services—moves that reflect its commitment to innovation and client-centric growth.
