FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that FCA regulated Retail FX and CFDs broker Hantec Markets has named Michael O’Sullivan to the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Michael O’Sullivan joined Hantec last year, as was reported at the time here at FNG, as Head of Technology Strategy. Prior to joining Hantec, Michael served as CTO of INFINOX Global in London. He has also worked previously at ATFX and at CMC Markets, dating back to 2004.
Hantec Markets is controlled by former ODL Securities and Rosenthal Collins executive Bashir Nurmohamed. Mr. Nurmohamed established the broker in 2010 with backing from Hong Kong based Hantec Group founder Tang Yu Lap. Hantec UK has undergone a recent management overhaul, with the company’s Executive Director and SMF1 (i.e. Chief Executive) responsibility officer Tony Sharpe leaving to join rival broker Trade Nation. Mr. Sharpe had held that role for about a year, after company senior executive Hayel Abu-Hamdan moved from London to the UAE to become Chief Commercial Officer for the overall Hantec group.
