GCEX Group Appoints Mohammed Mulla to Board of Dubai Entity | LeapRate
GC Exchange FZE (GCEX) has named Mohammed A. Mulla as a Board Member of its Dubai based entity, part of the broader GCEX Group. GCEX operates as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) regulated by the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) in the UAE and is authorised as a broker-dealer.
Mulla brings extensive capital markets experience to the role. He served as founding Vice President for MENA and Asia at Finalto, formerly known as CFH, over a 16-year career during which he contributed roughly 2 trillion USD in STP trading volumes. In 2019 he launched Noor Clearing, a partnership between Finalto and Noor Capital PSC. Earlier in his career, he worked as a sales associate at ODL Securities in the UK and as an auditor at Ernst & Young in Saudi Arabia. He holds an MSc in International Finance from Westminster Business School and CISI certifications.
Lars Holst, Founder and CEO of GCEX, said he has worked with Mulla since the early days of CFH and praised his regional expertise and strong network, adding that he looks forward to leveraging this experience for growth opportunities.
Mulla described the move as exciting, citing his alignment with GCEX’s principles of STP access to Tier 1 liquidity and conflict free client relationships. He highlighted GCEX’s regulatory achievements, including being among the first to receive a VASP Operating Licence from VARA.
GCEX, headquartered in London, is also regulated by the UK’s FCA and Denmark’s Finanstilsynet under MiCA, with True Global Ventures among its investors.
