Equiti Group promotes Sartaj Singh to CTO following recent CFO, Risk head moves
Following our FNG Exclusive report from last week that leading Dubai based online trading firm Equiti Group was making some changes up in its C-Suite including the naming of a new CFO and Chief Risk and Audit Officer, the company has issued a statement confirming the changes as well as adding in one more.
Equiti Group has formally named the former CFO of Plus500 Australia, Sean Hong, as its new Group CFO, with former CFO Rick Fulton moving over to become Chief Risk and Audit Officer.
In addition, Sartaj Singh (pictured above) has been appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Equiti. Sartaj first joined Equiti as Global Head of Technology in 2023, after working for seven years at GoTo Group, the largest technology group in Indonesia, where he was VP Engineering.
Sartaj added in a social media post about his new position at Equiti,
I’m pleased to share that my role as Chief Technology Officer at Equiti Group is now official.
These past two years — my first time living and working in Dubai — have been one of the most energizing phases of my career. I’ve had the privilege of leading a technology transformation that’s reshaping how we operate, scale, and serve clients across regions.
We’ve been architecting:
– A globally scalable platform-as-a-service foundation with embedded data analytics
– A modular, AI-powered client ecosystem designed for speed and adaptability
– Smart, event-driven systems across trading, operations, and onboarding
– A culture rooted in engineering ownership, velocity, and experimentationI’m deeply thankful to our CEO Iskandar Najjar, our Board, and every incredible team member across Equiti for the trust, support, and collaboration throughout this journey.
One belief that’s been central to our progress: Sustainable velocity doesn’t come from just working faster — it comes from the right architecture, reliable systems, and a culture that encourages experimentation.
When tech, business, and data align — and teams build with a hackathon mindset — transformation becomes continuous and compounding.
We’ve quietly been building for scale, resilience, and speed — and in the months ahead, I look forward to sharing more of what we’ve been working on.
Always happy to connect with finance and fintech experts passionate about building purposeful, high-impact technology.
