Global fintech IG Group has announced that Sharaz Hussain has been appointed as the company’s senior executive officer (SEO).

With over 30 years of experience in the financial industry, Hussain joins IG Group from ED&F Man Capital Markets, where he was the CEO  for the MENA region. Prior to that, he held senior finance executive positions at several institutions including ICAP, MF Global, Credit Suisse and JP Morgan.

Hussain will report to Fouad Bajjali, CEO of IG Bank SA. Hussain will be overseeing the company’s UAE business strategy and operations.

“The trend towards self-directed investing has grown considerably over time and I think that IG is well placed to serve ambitious individuals seeking financial freedom. With nearly 50 years of innovating and growing to support client’s needs, IG continues to marry its array of products with compelling financial content and high-quality customer support. I am thrilled to join IG Group as they continue their expansion by geography and by product, to help support IG’s clients in the UAE,” said Hussain.

He added,“My vision as the SEO for IG UAE, is to form a symbiotic relationship between the modern era of technology and the traditional model of premium customer service that is a reflection of the UAE across all sectors.”

Fouad Bajjali, IG Bank SA, CEO at IG Group, added,“Sharaz brings a key skill set with him to IG, with over three decades of experience working in financial services, first as a trader and later in senior roles in various countries. We look forward to working with him as we deliver on our strategy to innovate, support, and expand our business in the Middle East. Local investors are well positioned to access a variety of markets in real time using our dynamic platform, and we aim to have the best resources to serve them.”
