In assuming the highly esteemed position of CEO of Alpari's British operations, David Hodge is set to assume the position, bringing with him a wealth of strategic, commercial and operational experience in the electronic trading sector.

Mr. Hodge, who joined Alpari's UK operations two years ago as Chief Marketing Officer before being promoted to Chief Operating Officer, has a wealth of strategic, commercial and operational experience in both the online and financial sectors.

Andrey Dashin, founder and major shareholder of Alpari (UK) Ltd, has today made a formal statement regarding the appointment: “This promotion recognises the enormous contribution that David has already made to Alpari. He has a strong track record of delivering transformational change across the business and has the strategic vision, commercial experience and leadership skills that are essential to drive the business forward and improve earnings growth.”

Mr. Hodge succeeds former CEO, Daniel Skowronski who resigned from his position this week. Mr.Vedikhin said: “I would like to thank Daniel for his contribution to the business over the last three years and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”
