About
Technology-led growth for trading businesses
I'm a Business Development Manager at Spotware Systems, the fintech company behind cTrader and cBridge. I work with brokers, prop firms and fintechs that want to grow without being held back by their trading infrastructure.
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.
