The People Behind
Exec-Tech

Exec-Tech was founded on a simple idea: the firms shaping forex, iGaming and fintech deserve a recruitment partner that understands their world from the inside. Meet the two people who built it.

Dan Legg

Entrepreneur, FinTech investor and the driving force behind Exec-Tech
Dan is a serial entrepreneur who has spent his career building businesses in the industries Exec-Tech now recruits for — which is exactly why he started it.


His first company, TeamFX, began in his bedroom in Cheddar, Somerset. He built it into a global forex education business with more than 45,000 students across ten countries, delivered in five languages — English, Spanish, French, Italian and Arabic — by a team of ten spread across the UK and the UAE. The business was acquired in a seven-figure exit by a private education corporation, which went on to rebrand and scale the product.

Having grown a company from a single laptop to an international team, Dan learned first-hand how much a business lives or dies on the people it hires — and how badly the traditional recruitment model serves fast-moving sectors like forex, iGaming, payments and banking. Exec-Tech was founded to fix that: a recruitment partner run by operators who have sat on the hiring side of the table, built the teams themselves and understand what a top performer actually looks like in these industries.

Alongside Exec-Tech, Dan is an active FinTech investor across payments, banking and financial services, and consults for financial firms on licensing, marketing and payments. That ongoing involvement keeps him close to the regulatory and commercial pressures his clients face every day, and gives Exec-Tech a network that reaches well beyond a CV database.

Lewis Page

Recruitment specialist with the delivery track record behind every Exec-Tech placement
Lewis brings the recruitment craft to Exec-Tech: more than eight years spent placing people into demanding roles before co-founding the firm.

Before Exec-Tech, Lewis spent over eight years as a recruiter inside an established firm, working the full cycle from mapping a market and headhunting passive candidates through to negotiating offers and seeing placements settle in. That experience gave him two things most recruitment founders lack: a disciplined search process honed on hundreds of live mandates, and a clear view of where the conventional agency model lets clients and candidates down.

As Co-Founder and Director, Lewis leads the delivery side of the business — running searches, managing the consultant team and owning the relationships with the forex brokers, iGaming operators, EMIs and banks that rely on Exec-Tech to fill their hardest roles. His approach is deliberately consultative: understand the business, the team and the hiring manager first, then go to market with a precise brief rather than a flood of CVs.

Lewis is also the person candidates speak to when a move actually matters. He has guided senior and specialist talent through career decisions across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, and takes pride in the number of placements who come back to him as hiring clients a few years later.

Why we built Exec-Tech​

Between us we have founded, scaled and sold companies, and spent the best part of a decade inside the recruitment industry. We started Exec-Tech because the sectors we know best — forex, iGaming, payments and banking — move faster than the agencies that serve them.

Our model is simple: senior people on every search, a deep bench of pre-qualified talent, and honest advice on both sides of the table. It’s why more than 40 forex brokers, 25 iGaming firms and 10 EMIs and banks trust us with their most important hires.

Operators, not just recruiters

We’ve built the teams we now help you build. We know what great looks like because we’ve hired it ourselves.

Sector depth

Forex, iGaming, EMIs and banking are not side projects for us — they are the whole business.

Global reach, Dubai roots

Headquartered in Dubai Marina with networks across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and beyond.
