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.

Georgiou, on the other hand, brings more than 15 years of financial industry expertise to his CFO role. Andreas Savva Andreou, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), carries two decades of experience in the financial services industry. 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.
Tasos Georgiou, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
This enhanced team structure has already contributed to BDSwiss' recognition through numerous awards, such as ‘Best IB/Affiliate Programme APAC 2023’, and ‘Fastest Growing Forex Broker Dubai 2023’.
With this expanded team spearheading its efforts, BDSwiss enters a new era of growth, expecting its combined expertise and innovative strategies to deliver on its commitment to clients and the broader market.
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.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
