About Us

In 2013 I closed my travelling agency and went for a long journey in Western Europe. At the same time I was looking for an interesting project and came across an ad by a finance startup looking for developers. I applied for this role and received a test task which I have successfully completed. After an interview, I was hired as one of the developers at EXANTE.

For my time-being here I worked on many projects: from small services to widescale products, taking on different roles in teams. Starting with an ordinary developer I was very much interested in the company’s business and infrastructure. Soon I became a technical supervisor of big projects like product development for retail clients and institutional partners. I took on roles of developer, business analyst and technical manager in those projects. Versatile involvement in those projects enabled me to truly understand our product from both technical and business perspectives.

EXANTE has always been open to innovations. In 2017 I got into the team actively working on cryptocurrency products, getting an invaluable insight into the emerging industry. The number of tasks related to the research of new approaches and technologies in fintech was constantly growing, and it became obvious to me that the company was in need of a special team to quickly and efficiently address new challenges.

So, in the fall of 2017, after discussion with the board of directors, the R&D EXANTE division, called Exantech, was formed. Its key task was to research and develop new solutions as well as promote our brand among developers. I was asked to lead the team. Exantech is now known among developers and users of blockchain services for its technical reports and products. Our representatives speak at specialized conferences, a venture fund was launched within the division, which has invested in several blockchain projects. The team is constantly working on new services and shares its expertise with developers of other products in the company.

We have many plans for the future because the financial market is constantly evolving and we must not only keep up with the development but also outrun it. I hope that thanks to the experience and knowledge gained over the years in EXANTE, and with the help of excellent and experienced colleagues, all these plans will be realized.

I joined EXANTE as a technical support engineer while being a second-year student at uni. From the first day, I have been surrounded by highly professional people, from a linear engineer to the board of directors. It was a bit challenging at first, as I was not very much familiar with the market for investment and finance, but this passed by quite fast.

After working here for two years, I felt the need for a change. I left the company and worked as a developer for another company. After six months returned to EXANTE as a QA.

I remember how absorbed I was by this new role. I would go back home in the morning after dealing with challenging and exciting tasks whole night. My dedication has not remained unnoticed. After two years I was promoted to the supervisor of the QA department and, eventually, I became the IT Director.

Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov once said: ‘The purpose of life is expansion’. In corporate history, like in a human life, comes a time when it’s crucial to make decisions. This was exactly the time when I joined EXANTE.

The EXANTE management entrusted me to perform dramatic changes in the company’s operations, ensure strategic flexibility and the highest quality of service across the globe. The board appreciated my decades-long experience in high-scale projects: corporate development and transformation, enterprise efficiency improvement, launch and maintenance of management systems.

Justifying the board’s confidence, the highly professional team under my supervision has consistently developed an optimised management framework, boosted sales volumes and powered the global EXANTE expansion.

American author Harriett Jackson Brown Jr once said: “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.”

That has always been my motto in life - I’ve always strived to give 100 percent dedication, creativity, and drive. Additionally, I have done voluntary work for various charities ever since I was little.

That is why when I joined EXANTE in November 2019, I knew that I’d found my ideal employer. I am encouraged and supported to achieve. I enjoy opening my laptop every morning and starting my day. I feel part of the team, part of the vision, and part of something that’s exciting and rapidly growing.

EXANTE also has a strong corporate social responsibility objective and its COVID-19 volunteer programme has allowed me to volunteer a few hours a week to help charities in need.

At EXANTE, work doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a passion. That is why I have used my PR skills to help others in my spare time. I have also founded my own charity in the last year to support those with brain tumours.

I myself suffered a brain tumour and had a brain surgery in 2015. I never thought I’d work again. However, I’m lucky my health is back to normal and working for EXANTE allows me to have a healthy work–life balance.

I have recently been awarded a prestigious UK award for my fundraising and charity work and as a company I have managed to get EXANTE shortlisted for two Financial Adviser awards.

We are in exciting times and I cannot wait to see what we can achieve – both on a personal and professional note.
