Recent Executive Changes at Eightcap

Recently, Eightcap has undergone several executive changes. Alex Howard, who joined the firm as CEO in early 2023, has left the company. According to his LinkedIn profile, he later served as Managing Director of Regulated Markets before departing from the broker’s Melbourne office.

In another move, Neil Emmerson has joined Eightcap as Head of UK Trading Risk. He previously spent more than a decade at CMC Markets, most recently as Quant Trading Manager on the Indices, Commodities, and Cryptocurrency Desk, overseeing risk and revenue across multiple asset classes.

Additionally, Eightcap appointed Michael Clifton-Jones as Group Chief Commercial Officer, in what appears to be an internal promotion.
