GCEX names Carmen Tan as Managing Director for MENA

GCEX has appointed Carmen Tan as Managing Director, MENA. She brings years of experience in FX and digital assets, and she’s known for building and scaling businesses in tightly regulated markets. Throughout her career, she has worked with institutional and professional clients and helped teams grow across both traditional finance and newer markets.

Tan also has a strong record of expanding operations across the Middle East and Asia. She understands local market conditions and how regional rules shape day-to-day business. Her language skills add another advantage, helping her connect with clients across different countries and support cross-border relationships.

In this role, Tan will lead growth for GCEX’s VARA-regulated entity in Dubai, which sits at the center of the firm’s regional plan. She will also focus on improving the experience for institutional and professional clients, while keeping GCEX’s trading offering compliant, reliable, and suited to advanced market needs.

Another focus will be GCEX’s expansion across Asia. Drawing on her regional background, Tan will help identify new opportunities and strengthen the firm’s presence in high-growth markets. Her leadership supports GCEX’s goal of linking traditional finance and digital assets for institutional clients.

With Tan leading its MENA efforts, GCEX plans to build on its progress in the region and keep pushing its broader mission of delivering institutional-grade FX and digital asset solutions worldwide.
