Andrey Pavlov

Founder and Chairman

Prior to starting Spotware, Andrey spent over 10 years at NatWest, Citi and EBRD. He then became an entrepreneur, specialising in fintech and trading solutions. Andrey has made several successful exits in the fund management, hosting and liquidity aggregation sectors. In 2010, he founded Spotware. During this time, he devoted 100% of his time to Spotware and cTrader, the two brands he has always been passionate about. Andrey built cTrader to fill a gap in the market for a trader-focused, STP trading platform instead of numerous workarounds for the legacy product that dominated the market. Today, cTrader is the most current and complete online trading platform available to banks, brokers and exchanges.
