Before founding Eksel, he spent more than a decade at a publicly listed FX firm, where he became Managing Director. He led institutional coverage, served on the firm’s Executive Committee and held responsibility for origination and strategy across complex, high-value relationships.

His experience spans private markets firms, insurers, corporates, hedge funds and investment platforms, often involving cross-border, credit-intensive and time-sensitive FX requirements.

He has operated through significant market volatility and changing counterparty appetite, combining senior decision-making with direct involvement where timing, credit and commercial judgement were critical.

At Eksel, Kit leads the business and remains directly involved throughout each relationship he originates, from counterparty engagement through to commercial alignment and ongoing coordination.

He was formerly Trading Director at a publicly listed FX firm, where he co-led the Institutional division and held responsibility for client coverage and execution across the trading book. He spent a decade at the firm overseeing its most important client relationships. Earlier in his career, Richie held senior roles at one of the largest private equity-backed FX brokers and, prior to that, at an S&P 500-listed financial firm.

He has overseen FX hedging activity at institutional scale across multiple market cycles for funds, insurers and corporates.

Richie’s work focuses on origination, relationship structuring and ongoing coordination, staying close to market conditions, counterparty appetite and the commercial context of each relationship.
