Tradu Charts New Course With Tech-First Trading Platform

In the competitive world of online trading, technology leadership is increasingly becoming the differentiator between success and stagnation. 

For Tradu, a retail trading firm headquartered in London, embracing this reality has meant embarking on an ambitious journey of technological transformation.

Paul Sutherland, Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Tradu, joined the company just ten months ago after spending nearly two decades at some of the world's largest financial institutions including JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, HSBC and Standard Chartered.

“I'd always wanted to try a smaller business and the opportunity to come to Tradu came along,” Paul explains. “The people I spoke to were fabulous, and the culture here is great, very strong.”

For Paul, the transition from global banking giants to a more focused trading platform provider has been invigorating, though not without its unique challenges. The scale may be different, but the technical complexities remain.

“We've got a lot of incredibly multidisciplinary technologists here,” Paul says. “It's very different from larger organisations where you have many people doing specialised jobs. Our people are welcoming, hardworking and highly skilled, especially our technology team.”

Stratos Group International operates FXCM, which has been successful in electronic foreign exchange trading for more than 20 years, and its new platform, Tradu, which launched last year.
