Loukas Priovolos has taken on a new role as Financial Reporting Manager at Deriv, following an eight-year tenure at Tickmill where he most recently served as Group Financial Controller.

Former Tickmill Financial Controller Priovolos Joins Deriv in Reporting Role

In his announcement, Priovolos expressed enthusiasm about the growth and learning opportunities at Deriv, citing the company's “cultural and product diversification, technology and AI adoption” as key attractions of his new position.

Priovolos' career at Tickmill spanned multiple roles, beginning as an Accounting Supervisor in April 2017 and culminating in his position as Group Financial Controller, which he held from January 2021 until April 2025. During his time at Tickmill, he received four promotions and established two new finance sub-departments.

“It was a blessing to wake up every morning and feel like a new challenge would knock on my door again and again,” Priovolos noted in his farewell message to Tickmill.

His work at Tickmill included bringing accounting operations in-house for all group entities, creating consolidated management accounts from scratch, and implementing timely regulatory reporting across four different regulators without incurring fines or compliance issues.

Priovolos also highlighted significant cost-saving initiatives, noting that he helped the company save “six or seven-digit numbers” annually over the past four years through more efficient payment flow management and negotiation of better terms.

Prior to his eight-year stint at Tickmill, Priovolos worked at several financial firms, including Safecap Investments Limited and Rynat Trading Ltd, in various accounting and financial roles.

Exec Moves in Tickmill and Deriv

Online FX and CFDs broker Deriv has taken another step in its regional expansion with the appointment of Priovolos, following the December 2024 opening of a second Cyprus office, now led by Andreas Potamitis.

Meanwhile, Tickmill has also been active in senior recruitment, naming Erhan Beyaz as Head of Data and Analytics. Beyaz brings experience from several prominent industry firms, including Equiti Group.

The company also recently appointed Joseph Dahrieh as Managing Director for the MENA region and Elie Tarabay as Head of Partnerships—MENA.

However, these changes come amid internal shifts. As reported earlier by FinanceMagnates.com, Samer Alkhaldi, Tickmill’s Regional Manager for MENA, has departed the company after nearly nine years. Alkhaldi joined the firm in 2015 as Business Development Manager for the region.
