Dana Massey Moves From MultiBank to Next Ventures
Dana Massey, formerly chief product and growth officer at MultiBank, has joined prop firm group Next Ventures in the same role. Here is his background and what the move means for the group's brands.
Dana Massey has joined Next Ventures as chief product and growth officer (CPGO). He moves from Dubai-based CFD broker MultiBank, where he held the same title for 18 months. In the new role, Massey will coordinate product, design and marketing across the company's brands, including the futures and CFD prop trading firm FundedNext and FNmarkets, a newly launched, Mauritius-domiciled offshore CFD brokerage. The move brings a senior executive with a background in brokerage, fintech and consumer product into one of the most active prop firm groups in the sector.
Who Is Dana Massey?
Dana Massey is an executive with experience across three sectors: online trading, currency exchange and mobile games. His career includes senior product and marketing leadership roles at brokers and fintech firms, as well as nearly two decades in the games industry. That mix matters for a group like Next Ventures, which runs both a prop trading business and a brokerage, and which depends on product design, user experience and marketing to win and keep traders.
The table below summarises his career as described in the announcement.
| Period | Company | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Nearly two decades (most recently) | King | Senior director of new games (developer of Candy Crush, Farm Heroes, Pet Rescue and Bubble Witch) |
| Earlier | WorldRemit | Vice president of core consumer product, leading the consumer app and website product team |
| 2022 to 2024 | Capital.com | Chief product and marketing officer |
| 2024 to 2025 | Capital.com | Chief product and technology officer |
| 18 months (before this move) | MultiBank | Chief product and growth officer (CPGO) |
| Current | Next Ventures | Chief product and growth officer (CPGO) |
Dana Massey's Previous Roles Before Next Ventures
Massey spent three years at Capital.com. He first served as chief product and marketing officer from 2022 to 2024, then moved into the chief product and technology officer role from 2024 to 2025. Those two positions combine product strategy, marketing and technology, which are the same areas that now sit under his remit at Next Ventures.
He then joined MultiBank as CPGO and spent 18 months in that role before this move. Before moving into financial services, he worked at currency exchange provider WorldRemit as vice president of core consumer product. In that position he led the team responsible for the company's consumer app and website. Earlier still, he spent nearly two decades in the games industry, most recently as senior director of new games at King, the developer behind Candy Crush, Farm Heroes, Pet Rescue and Bubble Witch.
What the New CPGO Role Covers at Next Ventures
A chief product and growth officer typically owns how a company builds its products and how it attracts and retains customers. In Massey's case, the announcement says he will coordinate three areas across the group's brands: product, design and marketing. This is a cross-brand role rather than a single-product one, so his work is likely to shape how the group's different businesses share technology, user journeys and marketing approaches.
FundedNext: prop trading in futures and CFDs
FundedNext is described as a futures and CFD prop trading firm. Prop firms generally give traders access to capital after they pass an evaluation or challenge, with the firm sharing in profits according to its own terms. For traders, the quality of the sign-up process, the clarity of the rules and the way account information is presented all depend heavily on product and marketing decisions, which places them within Massey's area of responsibility.
FNmarkets: a newly launched offshore CFD broker
FNmarkets is a newly launched CFD brokerage domiciled in Mauritius. Because it is new, its onboarding flow, trading platform presentation and client communication are likely to be areas of active development. A CPGO with a background in consumer apps and websites may have a direct influence on these elements. Traders considering any new broker should always confirm the details of the firm's licensing, terms and conditions directly from official sources.
Why This Move Matters for Traders
Executive moves like this are often seen as routine industry news, but they can signal where a company is putting its resources. Here is what this change could mean in practice, based on what is known from the announcement:
- Product direction: A leader focused on product and growth could influence how trading platforms, account dashboards and onboarding are designed across the group.
- Cross-brand coordination: Coordinating product, design and marketing across a prop firm and a brokerage may lead to more consistent experiences for traders who use more than one of the group's services.
- Marketing and communication: Changes in growth leadership can affect how promotions, educational content and rule explanations are presented, so traders should read terms carefully.
The announcement does not set out specific product changes, timelines or new offers, so any predictions beyond these general points would be speculation.
What Traders Should Do Next
If you already use FundedNext or are considering FNmarkets, a leadership change alone does not change your account terms. The practical steps are the same as always:
- Read the current rules, fees and terms on the official website before depositing or starting an evaluation.
- Check for any updates to account conditions, trading rules or platform features in official announcements.
- Compare providers based on regulation, transparency, withdrawal policies and the costs you will actually pay.
- Keep records of your trades and communications with the firm in case you need to check a rule later.
