Charles Henri Sabet has bolstered LCG's executive team, sources with knowledge of the matter have shared with Finance Magnates. The firm has on-boarded Mukid Chowdhury as CEO of a new subsidiary that the company has established. He has been with LCG since May 2016, when he joined the company after spending several years at GAIN Capital as Finance Director of the company's international operations. The move follows up on a number of changes at the company during the past year.
