Kenya-based retail FX and CFDs broker EmpireFX has appointed Linda Nkatha Muriuki as its new Head of Sales, marking the firm’s second senior hire from Pepperstone in the past two weeks.
Muriuki joins EmpireFX after spending six years at Pepperstone, where she held a senior sales role focused on client relationships and business growth across the African region. She previously worked at EGM Securities, Equiti Group’s African subsidiary.
Her appointment follows the recent hiring of former Pepperstone Africa executive Sahil Patel, who joined EmpireFX as Chief Operating Officer earlier this month.
At EmpireFX, Muriuki will oversee the broker’s sales strategy and support its growth efforts across key markets.
The back-to-back appointments signal EmpireFX’s continued investment in strengthening its leadership team as the Kenya-regulated broker seeks to expand its presence in Africa and other target regions.
Linda Nkatha Muriuki, Head of Sales at Empire FX commented,
“Empire FX is at an exciting point in its growth journey, with strong momentum across key regions and a clear ambition to expand further. I’m excited to join a team that is not only focused on growth, but also on building a brand that clients can trust over the long term.”
