One is a Russian with a PhD who reads 2,000-page books on programming in his spare time, the other is a pragmatic American and former Currenex managing director. Together, Andrey Vedikhin, Alpari UK’s chief executive officer, and Daniel Skowronski, global chief commercial officer, have hatched an ambitious plan for growth.
