VCG Markets’ newly appointed CEO Brian Myers is making an aggressive push to establish the UAE-based broker as a global player built on artificial intelligence technology. Speaking weeks into his tenure after two decades in retail trading, including senior roles at Equiti, Myers declared his priority is accelerating existing infrastructure rather than rebuilding foundations. The broker is already operational across more than 70 countries with live AI capabilities through its VCG ONE trading platform.
Myers emphasized VCG is a global broker originating from the region, not merely a regional player with international ambitions. The firm holds licenses in Mauritius and a Category 5 authorization in the UAE, targeting emerging markets with localized products. He challenged industry assumptions that traders in Kenya, Lebanon, and Southeast Asia want simplified offerings, insisting they demand superior products instead.
The differentiation strategy centers entirely on AI integration woven throughout VCG’s platforms, positioning against established competitors in an oversaturated 2026 retail trading landscape.

VCG’s aggressive AI-first positioning and emerging market focus signal potential competitive pressure on incumbent brokers underinvesting in technology differentiation.
