FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that leading broker technology provider Spotware Systems, developer of the popular cTrader trading platform, has named Yiota Hadjilouka to the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO), and effective “#2” to Spotware CEO Ilia Iarovitcyn.

Yiota Hadjilouka first joined Cyprus based Spotware in early 2024 as Customer Success Manager, before being promoted to Head of Customer Success later in the year.

Spotware had been operating without a COO since Ilia Iarovitcyn was named CEO of the company in 2023. The last person to fill the COO role at Spotware, Christina Theodorou, left the company in 2022.

Ilia Iarovitcyn, Spotware Systems CEO said to FNG,

“Yiota’s promotion to Chief Operating Officer marks a significant and well-deserved milestone that reflects her exceptional leadership, operational expertise and deep commitment to our clients and company values. She has played a pivotal role in elevating our service standards and driving strategic execution, particularly through her leadership of our Customer Success team, where she fostered a culture of innovation, transparency and client-first thinking.

“As COO, Yiota is uniquely positioned to align our operations with Spotware’s long-term vision, streamline cross-departmental collaboration and scale our impact across the industry. Her dedication and insight will be central to delivering even greater value to the brokers and traders who rely on cTrader every day.”

Yiota posted the following note on social media regarding her new role at Spotware.

I’m incredibly proud to share that I’ve been promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Spotware Systems, the home of #cTrader!

This milestone means a lot to me, it’s a reflection of the trust, support, and collaboration I’ve been fortunate to experience while working with an incredible team. I’m grateful to be part of a company that truly values innovation, integrity, and putting clients first.

As I step into this role, I remain deeply committed to enhancing customer experience, contributing to client success, and driving operational excellence across everything we do.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey, thank you. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I look forward to continuing to grow with the amazing team at Spotware.
