FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Retail FX and CFDs broker Traze has hired longtime ICM.com executive George Nazih Girgis, as Vice President of Business Development.

George Nazih Girgis, who is based in Dubai, had been with MENA focused CFDs broker ICM.com for more than 13 years, as a Senior Business Development Manager. He has also previously worked at Citi.

George is the second ICM.com alum to move to Traze in recent months, after ICM.com’s Senior Executive Officer in the UAE, Wassim Anastasiou, joined Traze late last year as CEO MENA.

Traze is part of London based Zeal Group, and is operated mainly from Dubai. Group subsidiaries hold licenses from the UAE CMA (Category One), South Africa FSCA, as well as an FCA license in the UK (under the ZFX brand), and also operates an offshore entity in Seychelles. Traze and Zeal Group are controlled by Chinese national Yun Chen.

George posted the following note on social media regarding his move to Traze.

Excited to share that I have started a new chapter in my professional journey as Vice President of Business Development at Traze.

I am grateful for the opportunities, experiences, and people who have helped me reach this point. Looking forward to contributing to Traze’s growth, building strong partnerships, and taking on new challenges ahead.

Here’s to new beginnings and an exciting journey ahead.
