CFD Broker Kudotrade Appoints Catharine Ioannou as Global HR Head

Ioannou, who previously held HR leadership positions at popular retail brokerages located in Cyprus, will oversee Kudotrade's global talent strategy and workplace culture initiatives. Her appointment comes as the broker, which operates in over 130 countries, works to scale its operations.

"We are thrilled to welcome Catharine to the Kudotrade leadership team," said Finley Wilkinson, Chief Marketing Officer at Kudotrade. "Her deep understanding of the financial industry and her proven track record in HR strategy make her the perfect fit to help us strengthen our global workforce."

Ioannou began her career in human resources for CFD brokers in 2017 at BDSwiss. Over the next five years, she held roles as Human Resources Officer and later as Global Head of Human Resources. She then spent nearly two years managing HR at SquaredFinancial and is now joining the Kudotrade team.

Expanding Operations

Kudotrade currently maintains a physical presence in three countries and operates with regulatory authorization from the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius.

"At Kudotrade, we are committed to not only providing an outstanding trading experience for our clients but also creating an environment where our employees can excel," Wilkinson stated.

The Kudotrade brand was only established in 2024, but it has recently recruited several experienced CFD experts based in Cyprus. In October, Konstantinos Chrysikos joined the company after previously working for CAPEX.com; he now serves as Director and Head of Customer Relations.

Marc Olivier also made the move to Kudotrade from Amana Capital and Zenfinex. For nearly a year, he has held the position of Head of Brokerage.
