Simon Morgan

I am a global financial‑markets executive with more than 25 years’ experience leading and scaling trading, brokerage, and digital‑asset businesses across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. My career has centred on building high‑performing organisations, transforming market‑structure businesses, and delivering sustainable, compliant growth in regulated environments. As Chief Revenue Officer of Copper Group and Chief Commercial Officer & Board Director of Copper Securities, I oversee global commercial strategy, institutional client growth, and a revenue line exceeding $65m. Under my leadership, Copper has delivered 80% revenue growth, expanded its product footprint, and strengthened governance and risk frameworks across multiple regulatory regimes. I lead Copper’s global marketing organisation—including investor relations, PR, brand strategy, product marketing, and digital communications—and regularly represent the firm in live international media. I also play a central role in Copper’s Series D fundraise, engaging GSIB banks, market‑infrastructure providers, hedge funds, venture capital firms, and major trading firms. Earlier in my career, I held senior leadership roles at Virtu Financial, KCG Europe, and Knight Securities, reporting directly to Group CEOs and managing large front‑office teams across sales trading, execution, and risk. I have deep experience navigating regulatory change, building algorithmic and high‑touch trading businesses, and leading organisations through market‑structure evolution. I have held FCA CF21, CF29, and CF30 registrations and a FINRA Series 7 license since 2001. I am committed to governance, ethics, and building transparent, high‑integrity cultures that enable people and businesses to thrive.
