Jean Nahas has been appointed as Senior Executive Officer for UAE operations at HFM, marking a strategic leadership move for the global broker as it continues to strengthen its presence in the Middle East.
In his new role, Nahas is expected to lead HFM’s UAE business activities, support the development of the company’s regional strategy, and oversee key operational and commercial priorities. His responsibilities will likely include driving business growth, supporting regulatory alignment, strengthening local market relationships, and enhancing HFM’s position within the UAE’s financial services sector.
Nahas brings extensive experience across the FX, CFDs, brokerage, and fintech industries. His career includes senior executive roles in financial services, with a strong focus on operations, business development, strategic advisory, and regulated brokerage environments. This background is expected to support HFM as it expands its activities in the UAE and strengthens its leadership structure in the region.
The appointment comes at a time when the UAE continues to attract global brokers and financial services firms seeking a stronger regulated presence in the Middle East. Dubai, in particular, has become an important hub for fintech, trading, investment services, and regional business development, supported by growing demand from retail, professional, and institutional market participants.
As Senior Executive Officer, Nahas is expected to play a central role in guiding HFM’s UAE operations and supporting the company’s engagement with clients, partners, and regulators. His leadership will likely contribute to the firm’s efforts to build a stronger regional footprint while maintaining operational standards and supporting sustainable growth.
The move also reflects the increasing importance of experienced local leadership within the online trading industry. As brokers expand into regulated markets, senior executives with knowledge of financial services, compliance expectations, and regional business dynamics are essential for long-term success.
HFM’s decision to appoint Nahas reinforces its commitment to the UAE market and the broader Middle East region. With his experience in brokerage leadership and financial services operations, Nahas is positioned to support the company’s regional development and strengthen its ability to serve clients and partners across one of the industry’s fastest-growing markets.
