Andrey Dashin’s new Cyprus FX firm onboards most of Alpari FS management.
LeapRate Exclusive….. Well it seems as though Alpari’s decision to shut down its Cyprus operation Alpari FS — at around the same time that Andrey Dashin’s new firm ForexTime Ltd received a CySEC CIF license to begin operation — has provided ForexTime Ltd the opportunity to nab Alpari FS’s (former) top management. Note that Dashin was a founder of Alpari, and remains a major Alpari shareholder.
LeapRate has learned that most of Alpari FS’s (former) top management, including its Chairman and CEO, will be running ForexTime Ltd. These people include:
|
New role at ForexTime |
Old position at Alpari FS |
|
|
Olga Rybalkina |
CEO |
Chairman (and ex-CEO) |
|
George Giannoulakis |
COO |

|
Peter Leonidou |
Chief Sales Officer |
Head of Sales |
|
George Stylianou |
Chief Marketing Officer |
Head of Marketing |
|
Antonia Zeniou Droussiotou |

ForexTime received its CySEC license in December, and plans a rollout of its new brand and website during Q1. The brand isn’t totally new, as it had been operating as a small MT4 firm out of New Zealand. Dashin purchased the ForexTime brand, and the old ForexTime in New Zealand will soon rebrand during Q1.
