Alpha Futures Leadership: Ben Chaffee, George Kohler & the Team Behind the Firm

Alpha Futures is run day-to-day by Chief Operating Officer Benjamin "Ben" Chaffee (San Diego, CA), with UK-registered director George David Kohler serving as CEO and Founder, and Andrew Peter Blaylock as Co-Director on the UK Companies House filing. This three-part leadership structure — US operational lead plus UK corporate directorship shared with parent Alpha Capital Group — is documented publicly through UK Companies House (#15655643), LinkedIn profiles, RocketReach organizational records, and Finance Magnates trade-press coverage. It is a real corporate team, not an anonymous operator.

This article covers the full leadership picture: what Chaffee, Kohler, and Blaylock each do, how their roles connect, how Alpha Futures' leadership relates to parent Alpha Capital Group, and what the publicly available track record tells you about firm stability. For the complete firm overview see the Alpha Futures main review.

Alpha Futures leadership at a glance

George Kohler — Founder & CEO

George David Kohler is the founder and CEO of Alpha Futures and also the founder/CEO of parent company Alpha Capital Group. He is registered as an active director on both UK Companies House filings:

• Alpha Futures Limited #15655643 — director from April 17, 2024
• Alpha Capital Group Limited #13719951 — director from November 2, 2021

Kohler is British, born May 1997 per the Companies House officer register. He founded Alpha Capital Group as a UK forex prop firm in late 2021, then incorporated Alpha Futures in April 2024 after Alpha Capital Group paused US forex client onboarding in February 2024 — a regulatory/market-structure response to broader prop-industry events at the time. Alpha Futures was the US-facing comeback vehicle, built to serve US traders in the futures-only product category where US regulatory exposure is structurally cleaner than US forex.

Kohler's X/Twitter bio aggregates all the brands in his operator portfolio: @AlphaCapitalUK, @ACGMarkets, @Alpha_Futures_, @Alphatraderacg, @alphaprimemarkt. That list tells you two things — the brands operate as a group (Alpha Capital, Alpha Futures, Alpha Prime, plus adjacent venture entities), and Kohler personally endorses all of them. Group CMO attribution ("marketing efforts for Alpha Capital, Alpha Futures, and Alpha Prime") reinforces the integrated-brand structure.

For a trader evaluating Alpha Futures, the Kohler connection matters because his fiduciary accountability is documented on the UK register. If Alpha Futures misbehaved, the entity responsible (and the director listed) is publicly traceable — not an anonymous operator.

Andrew Blaylock — Co-Director

Andrew Peter Blaylock is the second UK-registered director on both Alpha Futures Limited and Alpha Capital Group Limited:

• Alpha Futures Limited #15655643 — director from April 18, 2024
• Alpha Capital Group Limited #13719951 — also a listed director

Blaylock is British, born September 1985 per the officer register. Public-record information beyond the Companies House filing is limited — he does not maintain a high-visibility LinkedIn or trade-press profile. Co-director roles on UK limited companies are common administrative/fiduciary positions; the role-weight in operational terms is typically lower than the founder-CEO role, but legally the two directors share accountability under UK company law.

The relevance for traders: two directors rather than one sole director is a mildly stronger governance signal (though with only two it is still thin compared to larger private operators with multi-director boards). Both directors have been continuously listed since incorporation — no resignations or replacements as of April 2026.

Ben Chaffee — Chief Operating Officer

Benjamin "Ben" Chaffee runs US-side operations for Alpha Futures as Chief Operating Officer. He is based in San Diego, CA. The COO role is confirmed through:

• LinkedIn — profile at `linkedin.com/in/benjamin-chaffee-291053113/`, with title "Alpha Futures" surfaced on standard title searches
• RocketReach — organizational chart `rocketreach.co/alpha-futures-management_b68de821c9abbde7` lists Chaffee explicitly as "Chief Operating Officer at Alpha Futures"
• Help-center bylines — articles at help.alpha-futures.com are frequently authored by "Benjamin" (consistent with Chaffee, though using first-name-only byline)

Chaffee's educational background is MS Biomedical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute — engineering-to-operations rather than finance-first, which is a common pattern in prop firm operational leadership where the core executive function is infrastructure (platform integrations, payout processing, compliance workflow design) rather than trading floor management. The engineering background plausibly explains Alpha Futures' relatively clean multi-platform integration story across Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Quantower, TradingView, Deepchart, and Deepdom — six platforms is a meaningful integration footprint for a two-year-old firm.

Correction vs. common mistakes: Several third-party review aggregators incorrectly label Chaffee as "CEO of Alpha Futures." This is wrong. Kohler is the CEO per UK Companies House and Crunchbase; Chaffee is the COO per LinkedIn and RocketReach. The distinction matters because Kohler holds UK fiduciary director accountability while Chaffee runs US operations without appearing on the UK director register.

Malik Adegbenro — Manager of Private Equity

Per RocketReach organizational records, Malik Adegbenro holds the role of Manager of Private Equity at Alpha Futures. This role is typical for prop firm groups with capital-market interfaces (payout banking relationships, treasury management of the trader-deposit pool, potential institutional-LP interfaces). Public profile is limited; the role appears to be a US-side position based on organizational attribution.

For traders, the Private Equity title is worth understanding in context. This is not a suggestion that Alpha Futures is a regulated investment advisor or accepts outside LP capital — prop firms generally do not. It is more likely the title covers internal capital allocation across the trader-funded-simulated model and treasury operations.

Group leadership — how it all connects

Alpha Futures does not operate in isolation. It sits within the Alpha Group of brands, all under Kohler's leadership:

The CMO coverage ("marketing efforts for Alpha Capital, Alpha Futures, and Alpha Prime") confirms at least three of these operate as a coordinated group rather than independent brands. For a trader, this matters because:

• Stability signals extend backward — Alpha Capital Group's November 2021 incorporation pre-dates Alpha Futures' April 2024 incorporation by ~30 months. The sister-brand has a longer operating track record.
• Group-level payout scale — Finance Magnates reported ACG-wide cumulative distributions of ~$80M (January 2025) with projected $100M+ by Q1 2025. These totals are ACG-wide and not Alpha Futures-specific, but they signal the parent group's payout infrastructure operates at meaningful scale.
• Cross-brand expertise — the platform integration lineage, payout infrastructure, and KYC workflows likely port directly from ACG's existing forex operation to the Alpha Futures futures product, which helps explain the clean operational execution despite the sister-brand's shorter standalone history.

The bottom line

Alpha Futures has a real, publicly verifiable leadership team. George Kohler (CEO/Founder, UK director) and Andrew Blaylock (Co-Director) are registered with UK Companies House with active, current director status and no resignations. Ben Chaffee (COO, San Diego) runs US operations with a confirmed role on LinkedIn and RocketReach. The structure mirrors parent Alpha Capital Group's leadership — intentional, because the two entities operate as a coordinated group under shared UK directorship. For traders weighing whether Alpha Futures is a legitimate firm to fund, the leadership checks out: real people, real roles, public accountability on the UK register, and an operational track record traceable backward through the parent group to November 2021.
