Bryn Newell has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Melbourne-headquartered broker Eightcap. According to his LinkedIn profile, he took over the role at the beginning of 2026. The broker’s UK CEO, Ollie Rosewell, announced his departure from the company after about eight months in the role.
A New CEO Takes Over
The appointment of Bryn Newell came only months after the departure of Alex Howard, who served as Eightcap CEO from early 2023 until about September last year. It remains unclear whether someone else took charge after Howard’s departure before Newell took over.
Newell joined Eightcap in mid-2021 as its Chief Technology Officer. He was later the broker’s Chief Information Officer before becoming CEO. He has extensive experience in the banking industry. He started his career at National Australia Bank, where he spent 14 years before leaving as Head of Technology.

Who Will Head the UK Operations Now?
Rosewell’s departure also came after he spent almost seven years with the broker. He joined the broker’s UK unit in mid-2019 as Chief Marketing Officer and later became regional CEO, serving as Commercial Director in between.
He is a marketer and led the marketing division of several brokerage brands, including now-closed ETX Capital, later known as OvalX, AFX Group, and London Capital Group. He also spent several years at IG in several marketing-related roles.
It remains unclear, however, who will replace Rosewell as Eightcap’s UK CEO.
