BDSwiss proves that client success starts with onboarding true leaders.
BDSwiss takes pride not only in offering best-in-class services to its clients but also in hiring high-calibre professionals to drive its mission forward. The Forex and CFD industry leader has proved that client success starts from the top. With two co-chief executives and leaders at the helm, the company’s future is in the right hands.
In an innovative move, BDSwiss introduced the co-CEO leadership model, entrusting shared responsibilities to Gregory Papagregoriou and Andreas Andreou. This approach, simultaneously ensuring risk mitigation and fostering innovation, has put BDSwiss on a path to continued growth and stability.
Papagregoriou, a seasoned finance and risk management professional, joined BDSwiss in 2016 and quickly progressed to the position of co-CEO. He brings 16 years of experience in finance and risk management and his proven dedication to the company's strategic growth and client-centricity is a testament to his leadership style. Focused on growth and client-centricity, he aims to strengthen the company’s position as a market leader in the retail trading sector.
“I am thrilled to be part of BDSwiss’ executive team and contribute to the company’s growth. Being in the front lines is equally challenging as is rewarding. When I see how much we have achieved only in the last couple of years, I couldn’t be prouder. The awards we have won are a statement of our unwavering commitment to our clients and delivering the best trading conditions,” said Gregory Papagregoriou.
Similarly, Andreou initially joined as CFO in 2022. With a BA degree in Accounting and Finance and more than 17 years of experience in the industry, he brings a unique blend of financial and leadership skills. Responsible for the development and process improvement of BDSwiss’ financial operations, Andreas quickly worked his way up to the co-CEO role in 2023.
Andreas Savva Andreou, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)
“Joining the executive team of BDSwiss was a great privilege for me. I am delighted to work alongside such a dynamic team of professionals and drive the company forward together. Our goal is to strengthen BDSwiss’ position as a global leader in the Forex and CFD sector by offering outstanding client and partner support and cost-effective financial services,” Andreas Andreou added.
Other recent additions to the team include Mirka Diamantidis, the Chief Operations Officer (COO), Andreas Savva Andreou, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), and Tasos Georgiou, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Diamantidis, is a seasoned finance professional with over 10 years of operational and client service experience. As COO, she oversees and leads Operations, Training, ePMO and BI teams, and acts as the binding party between Operations and Commercial divisions for enhanced collaboration while driving business strategy and identifying growth opportunities.

He is a seasoned professional with an in-depth understanding of market trends and customer needs and a proven track record of driving revenue growth.

Paying it forward
Under the guidance of this executive team, BDSwiss has also earned a reputation as a socially-responsible financial firm. The company has been involved in a number of high-impact charitable activities throughout the year. Its contribution to the renovation of the Amerikos Argyriou Paediatric Clinic in Limassol, participation in the Corporate Race at the Limassol Marathon, blood donation event, the collection of life-support items for the victims of the earthquake in Syria and Turkey and other similar events made the news.
