Brian Myers, a seasoned executive in the forex brokerage industry, has left Equiti Group after eight years to take on the role of Group CEO at VCG Markets, a Dubai-based online CFDs broker. Myers began his career at Equiti in 2018 as CEO of the FCA-regulated Equiti Capital, the group’s institutional services division based in London. Over time, he expanded his responsibilities significantly, relocating to Dubai in 2021 to serve as Group Chief Commercial Officer and CEO of Equiti Brokerage in Seychelles, while also overseeing the group’s African operations. Additionally, Myers led Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC, the company’s Category One CMA-licensed entity in the UAE.
Before joining Equiti, Brian Myers held the position of CEO at GKFX Prime, which later became Trivepro. His extensive experience also includes roles at prominent forex brokers such as OANDA, Alpari, and FXCM. This background has established him as a respected figure within the forex broker community.
In a recent statement, Myers reflected on his time at Equiti Group, highlighting the company’s dynamic growth environment and the excitement of building a business in real time. He expressed enthusiasm about his new role at VCG Markets, praising the company’s solid foundation combined with ambitious goals to lead in trading technology and customer service worldwide. He emphasized VCG’s integration of artificial intelligence into its operations as a key factor that distinguishes it from other brokers.
VCG Markets has been operating since 2021 initially as an offshore broker domiciled in Mauritius. The company advanced its regulatory standing by obtaining a UAE CMA Category 5 license for Introduction and Promotion activities in 2025 under VCG Securities Financial Consultation LLC. Until now, Abdallah Garib led VCG Markets; Garib previously served as Chief Compliance and Legal Officer for MENA at Equiti Group during part of Myers’ tenure there.
Myers described his move to VCG Markets as an opportunity to lead an established business with a talented team serving clients across more than 70 countries. He expressed optimism about driving innovation amid significant industry disruption and leveraging AI technology to enhance client experiences. His appointment signals VCG’s commitment to expanding its global presence and technological capabilities in the competitive forex brokerage market.
This leadership change marks a notable shift within the forex broker sector, reflecting ongoing trends where experienced executives seek new challenges amid rapid technological evolution and regulatory developments. Myers’ track record suggests that VCG Markets aims to strengthen its position by combining strong management with cutting-edge trading solutions.
As the forex brokerage industry continues to evolve with increasing demands for transparency, compliance, and advanced technology integration, executive movements like Myers’ appointment are closely watched indicators of strategic direction and market confidence. VCG Markets’ focus on innovation and customer service under Myers’ guidance will likely influence its trajectory in the coming years.
