Traders Feel It First."},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Traders usually meet a broker through a platform, a spread or an app. The part they rarely see is the leadership desk: who got hired, who got promoted, and who now owns the product, the partners and the client experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two of those moves are now in public view. Felice Digennaro<\/strong> is the new Head of Prop at Kudo Funded<\/strong>. Menna El Kurdi<\/strong> has joined HFM<\/strong> as Regional Sales Manager. ANC tracks appointments like these because they shape what traders and introducing brokers actually get next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Felice Digennaro takes Head of Prop at Kudo Funded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Kudo has appointed Felice Digennaro as Head of Prop at Kudo Funded, the group\u2019s prop trading unit, powered by Kudo. In the announcement he is tasked with helping lead the next stage of growth, strengthening the offering and improving the experience for its trading community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public coverage on 9 November 2026 places him as the former Head of Affiliates at FunderPro, with earlier roles that include content work at TradeLocker and leadership at Amikone. Kudo\u2019s COO, Finley Wilkinson, framed the hire as part of building the unit\u2019s operations and organisational strength as it expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For traders watching prop, this is a people signal. Prop firms win or lose on challenges, payouts, rules and partner channels. The executive sitting on that stack decides how those pieces fit together. Digennaro\u2019s path from affiliates into Head of Prop is exactly the kind of builder move the desk feels first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Menna El Kurdi joins HFM as Regional Sales Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Menna El Kurdi has joined HFM as Regional Sales Manager. In her own announcement she pointed to HFM\u2019s reputation for innovation, competitive trading environments and client-centric solutions. Her focus is leading strategic growth across the region, expanding the network and driving value for clients and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public career notes before this move include affiliate and partnership work, including Head of Affiliation at Sky Option, and a Business Development Manager role at VT Markets that she closed out at the end of October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regional sales leadership is where broker growth meets the people on the ground: IBs, affiliates and the clients they bring. When that seat changes, partner terms, support speed and market coverage often follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why leadership moves matter on the trading desk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A platform update is easy to spot. A leadership update is quieter, and often more important. Head of Prop roles decide how funded programmes treat traders. Regional sales roles decide how brokers treat partners and which markets get real attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ANC\u2019s view is simple. Bring industry leaders closer to traders. Give brokers serious traders, not random clicks. Education that actually matters sits between those two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For traders and builders watching these desks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you trade, read appointments like these as early signals, then still check regulation, costs and risk tools before you fund anything. Compare rails on our brokers page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
