Former CFI Dubai CEO Nidal Abdel Hadi Joins INGOT as Strategy Consultant

INGOT Brokers has appointed former CFI Dubai and CMS Financial CEO Nidal Abdel Hadi as Strategy Consultant, bringing in a veteran brokerage executive to support the firm's strategic development and growth initiatives.

Based in Dubai, Abdel Hadi brings more than 25 years of experience across the FX and CFD industry. In his new role, he will advise INGOT on corporate strategy, business development, and innovation, with a particular focus on integrating artificial intelligence into the broker's long-term growth plans.

Before joining INGOT, Abdel Hadi spent six years with CFI Group, initially serving as Deputy CEO before becoming CEO of Credit Financier Invest DIFC Limited, the group's regulated Dubai entity. He later led Arabic-focused CFD broker CMS Financial as Group CEO until earlier this year.

His career also includes senior institutional sales and leadership roles at ADSS, Swissquote, and MIG Bank, giving him extensive experience in institutional brokerage, regional expansion, and financial markets.

Commenting on his appointment, Abdel Hadi said the industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades as AI reshapes financial services. He noted that INGOT's commitment to making AI a core part of its business strategy was a key reason behind his decision to join the broker.

The appointment comes as INGOT continues to strengthen its international presence. The multi-asset brokerage operates licensed entities across Jordan, Australia, Cyprus, Kenya, the UAE, and Seychelles, while expanding its footprint in Europe and the Middle East.
