Fylaktou will work in BDSwiss offices in Cyprus.
Fylaktou has worked in financial services since 2014 and entered the industry as an Account Manager at IronFX, another FX/CFDs broker.
I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Regional Head of Business Development – Africa at BDSwiss! I would like to express my gratitude to BDSwiss, particularly Andreas Andreou and Nicolas Morphitis for granting me this incredible opportunity.

BDSwiss hired Fylaktou weeks after confirming Hassan Ibrahim as the new Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Head of Business Development and Mazen Salhab as the broker’s Chief Market Strategist for the MENA region.
BDSwiss operates in the EU with the CySEC license. The UK FCA banned BDSwiss 2021 from operating in the UK after it acquired and serviced UK residents via offshore entities using prohibited methods. BDSwiss is notorious for its offshore activities. The focus on MENA and Africa, therefore, seems only logical.
