CFI appoints Federico Cirulli as chairman to drive next growth phase

CFI Financial Group has appointed Federico Cirulli as its new Chairman of the Board, a move aimed at supporting the online trading firm's next phase of growth and institutional evolution. Cirulli brings over 20 years of leadership experience in regulated financial services, including CEO roles in brokerage and asset management. Co-founders Hisham Mansour and Eduardo Fakhoury will transition to non-executive directors, while the appointment follows the June 2025 hiring of group CEO Ziad Melhem and board strengthening in November 2025. The leadership change comes after a period of record trading performance and international expansion. Cirulli will focus on scalability, operational excellence, and governance as CFI continues growing across markets, products, and services.
