Elian has consistently driven operational transformation & technology innovation at scale.
FYNXT, a Singapore-based fintech company delivering enterprise-grade, modular solutions for FX/CFD brokers, proudly announces the appointment of Elian Daoud as its Strategic Product Advisor.
With over 15 years of leadership experience in the trading and fintech space, Elian has consistently driven operational transformation and technology innovation at scale. Most recently, he served as Chief Operating Officer at GTCFX, where he led the firm’s operational strategy, platform enhancement, and regional expansion efforts. Prior to that, he spent over seven years at AXI, one of the industry's most respected brokerages, where he headed Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and was instrumental in building scalable systems that improved efficiency, compliance, and client onboarding.
Elian’s cross-functional expertise—spanning operations, automation, product strategy, and brokerage infrastructure—makes him a powerful asset to FYNXT as the company continues to build next-gen solutions for brokers navigating a fast-moving regulatory and competitive landscape.
“I’ve known Aeby and the team for a long time, and I’ve always admired their energy and focus on solving real broker challenges through technology,” said Elian. “As the FX/CFD market evolves rapidly—especially with AI and automation gaining traction—brokers need to move fast. FYNXT is assembling top-tier talent to stay ahead, and I’m excited to be part of that journey.”
In his role as Strategic Product Advisor, Elian will work closely with FYNXT’s product and strategy teams to align the platform’s modular solutions with market needs and emerging trends.
In an industry that evolves by the quarter, not the decade, FYNXT needs advisors who’ve seen it all. Elian brings depth, clarity, and a hands-on understanding of broker pain points. His joining is timely—as we prepare a wave of product innovation aligned with real-world brokerage challenges.
“Elian isn’t just an industry expert—he’s someone who understands brokers inside out. We’ve collaborated over the years and share a common belief: technology should simplify operations, not complicate them. His insights will help us double down on product-market fit and keep our clients ahead of the curve,” said Aeby Samuel, CEO of FYNXT. “
Elian’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as FYNXT prepares to roll out a new suite of products and capabilities tailored to broker agility, compliance, and client engagement.
“Clients and partners can expect some exciting new launches ahead,” Elian added. “I’m bringing years of frontline experience to help ensure FYNXT’s offerings are not only cutting-edge but also practical and impactful for brokers of all sizes.”

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
