Sahil Patel Joins EmpireFX as Chief Operating Officer

EmpireFX Names Sahil Patel as Chief Operating Officer

EmpireFX, a Kenya-based FX and CFDs broker licensed by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), has named Sahil Patel as its new Chief Operating Officer. The move is part of the company's plan to strengthen its operations and grow in key international markets.

In his new role, Patel will lead global operations and focus on building stronger internal systems, improving the trading experience for clients, and supporting growth across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. EmpireFX is continuing to build its presence as a regulated broker for both local and regional traders.

Patel brings broad experience in online trading and financial services. Before joining EmpireFX, he was Head of Africa at Pepperstone, where he helped support the broker's growth in the region. He has also held senior roles across the brokerage industry, with experience in operations, market expansion, and client-focused business development.

His appointment comes as EmpireFX enters its next stage of growth. Demand for regulated FX and CFDs services continues to rise in emerging markets, so brokers are paying more attention to governance, technology, education, and local client support.

EmpireFX is listed by the CMA among Kenya's licensed online forex brokers, with Empire FX Trade Limited appearing on the regulator's licensee list. The company offers access to forex, indices, commodities, and stocks. It also supports local trading features such as KES-denominated accounts and M-Pesa integration.

Patel is based in Nairobi and will lead global operations as the broker targets expansion across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. With this hire, EmpireFX is adding leadership experience that can support better service, tighter operations, and a stronger position in fast-growing financial markets.
