Business Development Manager at Spotware Systems. Helping brokers and prop firms launch and scale with cTrader, cBridge and cFinancial institutional liquidity.
About
Technology-led growth for trading businesses
I'm a Business Development Manager at Spotware Systems, the fintech company behind cTrader, cBridge and cFinancial. I work with brokers, prop firms and fintechs that want to grow without being held back by their trading infrastructure.
My work now spans the whole stack: the cTrader platform, cBridge for platform-agnostic liquidity bridging, and cFinancial, Spotware's institutional liquidity provider, aggregated pricing across FX, metals, commodities, indices, equities and crypto, with order routing and execution-quality monitoring over a single FIX 4.4 connection, built to sit alongside existing bridges rather than replace them.
Across more than a decade in financial markets, I've sat on both sides of the table, building partner and institutional books at brokerages, and now helping those same businesses choose, launch and scale the technology behind them. My work runs from first conversation through technical scoping, migration and long-term account strategy.
I'm based in Limassol, Cyprus, and I share what I learn openly with a community of 30,000+ industry followers.
