CFI Names Martin Kiuru as Chief Technology Officer to Drive Global Tech Expansion

CFI Financial Group has appointed veteran technology leader Martin Kiuru as its new Chief Technology Officer, marking a significant step in strengthening the firm’s global technology strategy. Kiuru joins the Dubai-headquartered broker after more than twenty years building scalable systems, leading engineering teams, and delivering major digital transformation programmes across financial services.

Kiuru brings extensive leadership experience from roles spanning Europe and the Middle East. Most recently, he served as CTO at Libertex Group, where he oversaw technology delivery, platform performance, and operational resilience. His earlier career includes senior positions at Admiral Markets, FIIZY, Jingle Pay, and Swedbank, along with co-founding roles in emerging fintech ventures.

At CFI, he will be responsible for advancing the firm’s technology roadmap and enhancing the infrastructure that supports its multi-market trading offering. His priorities include improving automation, strengthening data capabilities, and ensuring that CFI’s platforms deliver faster, more consistent performance for clients worldwide.

Kiuru said he was joining the company at a moment of strong momentum, noting that technology should act as an enabler for both users and internal teams. His appointment follows CFI’s continued global expansion and underscores the group’s focus on building a high-performing architecture capable of supporting long-term scale.

CFI’s leadership highlighted Kiuru’s mix of strategic vision and hands-on engineering expertise as a key addition to the group. The firm, active for more than twenty-five years across major financial hubs including London, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Cape Town, and Baku, has been investing consistently in technology to support its multi-asset offering.

Kiuru’s arrival reinforces CFI’s aim to strengthen its digital capabilities as competition in online trading intensifies and client expectations continue to evolve.
