I have been passionate about Financial Markets since I can remember. I Co-Founded eToro in 2007, with the vision of opening the global markets for everyone to trade and invest in a simple and transparent way. Today, our vision is becoming a reality - eToro is the world's leading social trading and investment network.
My two biggest passions are finance and computer science and I was able to merge them both along with the social revolution in order to develop eToro’s investment network.
I am a great believer in global markets and in every person’s right to engage, learn and invest responsibly in order to shape one’s future and make a difference in the world. I believe that knowledge is power and one of eToro’s most important missions is to promote our users’ investment capabilities by creating and providing further tools and products to share ideas, thoughts, wisdom and knowledge that are out there, for everyone to use equally and openly.
I am a keen believer in Blockchain technology and in cyrptoassets and have been one of the early adopters of this technology. I find this innovative realm as revolutionary and impactful to the world as the internet revolution.
In 2018 I established the GoodDollar Foundation, a non-profit initiative determined to create a sustainable and scalable framework for bringing global universal basic income to the world through new digital asset technologies.
I am a member of the YPO Global Leadership Community and I was honored to be chosen by the Financial News in its Fintech 40 ranking and their Rising Stars in Asset Management ranking, as well as listed in Fortune’s 40 under 40 and in City A.M’s fintech 100 top influencers.
