Mutasem Abu Hamdeh Joins ePlanet Brokers as MENA Country Manager
Mutasem Abu Hamdeh has joined ePlanet Brokers as MENA Country Manager, bringing more than 17 years of forex and CFD experience across Jordan and the GCC. The appointment expands the broker's regional leadership.
ePlanet Brokers has appointed Mutasem Abu Hamdeh as MENA Country Manager, adding a regional leadership role to his career in the forex and CFD sector. Abu Hamdeh shared the appointment on LinkedIn, and recent social media posts also reflect his position with the company. The material available for this report does not specify the exact date of his appointment. The move matters for traders in the Middle East and North Africa because it signals how the broker plans to organise its regional presence and client relationships.
What the ePlanet Brokers Appointment Means
A country manager role typically covers business development, partner relationships and the day-to-day representation of a brokerage in a specific region. In Abu Hamdeh's case, the role is described as representing the brokers across the MENA region. For traders, a visible regional lead can be a useful point of contact for questions about the company's services, though any account matters should always be handled through the broker's official channels.
The announcement is also a reminder that senior appointments in this industry are often first shared through professional networks such as LinkedIn and industry event listings rather than through formal press releases. Readers should treat job titles from these sources as accurate for the individual's own description of their role, and confirm key details through the company where possible.
Mutasem Abu Hamdeh's Industry Background
Abu Hamdeh has more than 17 years of experience in forex and CFDs across Jordan and the GCC. According to his official speaker profile for Forex Expo Dubai 2026, his background includes business development, regional expansion, sales management and client acquisition. The same profile says he has led market expansion projects, built sales teams and supported increases in client numbers and trading volumes.
Experience of this kind is most relevant to the region he now covers. Market development in the GCC and Jordan involves different regulatory expectations, payment methods and client profiles than many other markets, so a leader with long regional exposure is well placed to speak to those local conditions.
Career Before Joining ePlanet Brokers
Before joining the brokers, Abu Hamdeh was associated with CFI Global, according to his publicly available LinkedIn profile. A third-party employment database lists him as a former Head of Business Development at CFI Global. That specific title has not been confirmed through the company's own public channels, so it should be read as a database listing rather than an official statement.
Role in the MENA Region and Forex Expo Dubai 2026
In his new role, Abu Hamdeh will represent the brokers across the Middle East and North Africa. His recent LinkedIn post says he will attend Forex Expo Dubai 2026 on behalf of the company. The event lists him as a speaker under the title Head of MENA, with experience in market development, trader engagement and business growth within financial services.
Note that the speaker listing uses the title "Head of MENA," while the appointment is described as MENA Country Manager. Both describe a regional leadership remit, but readers who need the exact title for formal purposes should check it with the company directly.
He was scheduled to speak at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 on September 22 and 23. The agenda included his session on the changing role of introducing brokers, partner growth and client relationships in the trading industry. Since those dates have already passed, the material available does not confirm what was presented or how the session was received.

ePlanet Brokers Legal Entities: What Traders Should Know
The company operates through multiple legal entities, and the entity a client contracts with determines which regulatory framework applies to that account. This is one of the most important details for any trader to check before depositing funds.
| Entity | Registration | Licence or status |
|---|---|---|
| ePlanet Brokers LTD | Registered in the Comoros Union | No licence is mentioned in the material reviewed |
| Nebula Ventures Ltd | Registered in Vanuatu | Holds a licence from the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission to provide financial dealer services |
The brokers announced the addition of the Vanuatu-regulated entity in September 2026. The distinction matters: a licence held by one entity does not automatically extend to another entity within the same group. Before opening an account, confirm which company your agreement is with and what licence, if any, that specific company holds.
How This Affects Traders in the Region
For traders in the MENA region, a dedicated regional manager can mean more local communication and clearer points of contact. However, a leadership change does not by itself change the terms, pricing or protections of any account. Those are set by the legal entity and the account agreement.
- Check which entity you are onboarded with, not just the brand name.
- Read the client agreement and the risk disclosures for that entity.
- Confirm the platforms, instruments and account types you need are available under your entity.
- Verify any licence claim on the regulator's own public register.
How to Check a Broker's Entity Before You Open an Account
Checking a broker's structure takes only a few minutes and can prevent confusion later. The steps below apply to the brokers and to any broker you are evaluating.
- Identify the exact legal entity named in the account terms, not just the brand on the website.
- Search the regulator's official register for that entity name and check the licence status and permitted activities.
- Compare the licensed activities with the services you plan to use, such as CFD trading or stock access.
- Review the platforms offered, such as MetaTrader 5 or cTrader, and confirm they are available for your account type.
- Read the fund protection, complaints and dispute information in the client documents.
