CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, 26 avr. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — À l’approche de son 25e anniversaire, qui est un moment marquant pour cette entreprise de trading en ligne, Deriv a annoncé la promotion de Rakshit Choudhary du poste de directeur des opérations (COO) à celui de co-Président-directeur général (co-PDG). Ce modèle de co-leadership permettra de tirer parti des différentes forces et des diverses approches des deux dirigeants.

Le choix d’un tel modèle n’a pas uniquement une visée stratégique pour Deriv. Il permet à l’organisation d’intégrer des points de vue divers et le travail d’équipe à la prise de décisions critiques, afin de maintenir l’agilité de l’entreprise. Ce double cadre de leadership contribuera également à créer un environnement où le respect réciproque et la responsabilité partagée constituent la norme, et où l’autonomie individuelle est équilibrée par une vision collective.

D’après Jean-Yves Sireau, fondateur et co-PDG de Deriv : « Rakshit a l’étoffe du leader qui comprend parfaitement la vision de Deriv. Sa promotion au poste de co-PDG va donc de soi. C’est comme cette synergie que l’on observe dans la programmation en binôme, cela améliore la prise de décision et l’alignement des objectifs. »

« Le 25e anniversaire de Deriv marque un moment de réflexion. Renouveler notre modèle de leadership nous permet de passer à la phase supérieure de l’activité de Deriv, qui est axée sur une expansion mondiale et un engagement plus profond avec des marchés diversifiés. Cette double approche de leadership permet à Deriv de rester innovant et de s’engager en faveur d’un excellent service client et de partenariats solides. »

Choudhary, qui est titulaire d’une maîtrise obtenue au Georgia Institute of Technology, a occupé depuis 2009 les postes de spécialiste de l’analyse quantitative, puis responsable du développement quantitatif et de la recherche à Deriv. Il a ensuite occupé le poste de responsable du développement de produits avant d’être promu directeur des opérations en 2018.

Rakshit Choudhary fait part de ses impressions : « Participer directement, ces 14 dernières années, à la croissance et à l’évolution incroyables de Deriv, qui est resté fidèle à sa mission consistant à rendre le trading accessible à tous et partout, fut un privilège inédit pour moi. Au cœur de cette mission se trouve la volonté de rester innovant, sûr et accessible. C’est avec plaisir que continuerai à développer les activités de Deriv à l’échelle mondiale aux côtés de Jean-Yves, afin d’accompagner l’entreprise au cours de ses 25 prochaines années de succès. »

Deriv est également passée à un modèle de co-directrice financière, Jennice Lourdsamy, précédemment responsable des comptes et des paiements, assumant un double rôle de leadership en tant que co-directrice financière aux côtés de Louise Wolf, l’actuelle directrice financière. Le co-leadership ne se limite pas aux postes de direction. Chez Deriv, elle s’étend à tous les niveaux de l’entreprise et cadre avec ses valeurs que sont l’intégrité, la compétence, l’orientation client et l’esprit d’équipe.

Deriv reste fidèle à ses principes d’excellence en matière de leadership, marqués par une vision claire, des approches axées sur les résultats, un apprentissage continu et une propension à l’action. Ces principes alimentent les opérations quotidiennes et sont essentiels à la réalisation de la mission de Deriv : rendre les solutions de trading de pointe accessibles dans le monde entier.

CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a significant move for the online trading company, as it approaches its 25th anniversary, Deriv has announced the promotion of Rakshit Choudhary from Chief Operating Officer (COO) to co-Chief Executive Officer (co-CEO). The co-CEO model will capitalise on the different strengths and diverse perspectives of both leaders.

Choosing the co-model is not just a strategic move for Deriv. It lets the organisation incorporate diverse viewpoints and teamwork into critical decision-making to keep the business agile. This double leadership framework also creates an environment where reciprocal respect and shared accountability are standard practices and balances individual autonomy with a collective vision.

Jean-Yves Sireau, Founder and co-CEO of Deriv, said: “Rakshit is a great leader with a deep understanding of Deriv’s business, so his move to co-CEO is a natural step forward for us. It is like the synergy you see in pair programming—improved decision-making and better alignment of goals.

“Deriv turning 25 is a moment for reflection. Refreshing our leadership model makes us well-positioned to take on the next phase of Deriv’s business, which is focused on expanding globally and engaging more deeply with diverse markets. This dual leadership approach helps keep Deriv innovative and committed to excellent customer service and strong partnerships.”

Choudhary, who holds a Master’s degree from Georgia Institute of Technology, joined Deriv in 2009 as a Quantitative Analyst and then Head of Quantitative Development & Research. His next role at Deriv was Head of Product Development before his promotion to COO in 2018.

Rakshit Choudhary shared his thoughts on his new role: “I have been lucky to be part of Deriv’s incredible growth and evolution for the last 14 years, witnessing firsthand its mission to make trading accessible to anyone, anywhere. At the centre of this is a focus on staying innovative, secure, and accessible. I look forward to continuing to grow Deriv’s business globally alongside Jean-Yves, as we take the company into another successful 25 years.”

Deriv has also transitioned to a co-CFO model with Jennice Lourdsamy, previously Head of Accounts and Payments taking a double leadership role as co-CFO alongside Louise Wolf, the current CFO. The co-leadership mindset does not end at the C-level. It is practised across Deriv at all levels, in line with the company’s values of integrity, competence, customer focus, and teamwork.

Deriv remains committed to its principles of leadership excellence, marked by clear vision, result-oriented approaches, continuous learning, and a bias for action. These principles are embedded in daily operations and are critical to achieving Deriv’s mission of making advanced trading solutions accessible worldwide.

Government advised to adopt digital systems for credit management


Mr Alhassan Andani, an Economist and a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Stanbic Bank, has advised the government to adopt effective and efficient digital systems for Ghana’s credit management.

Mr Andani asked the government to build robust technological infrastructure that would limit human control in loan acquisitions and implement mechanisms that would monitor the efficient use of such monies.

The former Banker was speaking with the Ghana News Agency on Thursday evening, on the margins of the launch of the 10th anniversary of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICMG), Ghana, in Accra.

He said doing so would go a long way to curb the recurrent debt crisis and called on Ghanaians to seek accountability from the government, while limiting their expectations not to pressure for debt accumulation.

He also advised political leaders against making ambitious promises in their bid to be elected to offices from the District Assembly level to Parliament, and the Presidency, which put pressure on
the government to spend beyond budgets.

Mr Andani, who is currently the Executive Chairman, LVSAfrica – an integrated business advisory and enterprise development firm, said this while bemoaning the recurrent Ghana’s debt crisis.

Ghana’s debt is now ‘unsustainable’, with the government implementing a US$3 billion loan-support programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to overturn the situation and reach 55 per cent debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 55 per cent by 2028.

‘Our current debt situation leaves so much to be desired; I’ve been in finance for a very long time, but we’ve not seen this level of despair within our credit system, and the impact on financial services,’ Mr Andani said.

The former Banker of more than 20 years of experience, including credit management, attributed Ghana’s frequent debt crisis to the inability of governments to select people that would use the funds borrowed optimally.

He, therefore, recommended the utilisation of digital technologies to allocate loans to
the most efficient users and ensure proper monitoring to yield good returns in the country’s productive sectors so it could pay back.

He explained that credit was invariably at the centre of financial services because it was often the means of getting adequate funds from those who had the money, investing it to get profit to repay as loan.

‘Financial service providers gather resources from surplus owners who want them for safe keeping and access it anytime they want and also make it available to those who want to use it create asset and develop enterprises,’ he said.

‘It’s for all the operators; the government, citizenry, financial service providers, and regulators to rethink our role and manage expectations, and rearrange the payment, which is what’s been done, and be able to pay back,’ he advised.

Speaking at the event, Dr Anthony Aubynn, Chairman, CICMG, urged credit management professionals to continue to be agents of change, advocating policies that would promote responsible lending practices and fin
ancial inclusion.

Dr Aubynn said it was important to ’embrace innovative technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics to streamline processes, mitigate risks, and extend financial services to underserved communities.’

USA: Elecam to revise, draw voters register at Cameroon Embassy

The Ambassador of Cameroon to the United States of America, Henri Etoundi Essomba, revealed that members of the Elections Cameroon shall visit the embassy in line with drawing up and revising the voter register.

Korle-Bu Cardio Centre receives support from Awake Purified Drinking Water


Kasapreko Company Limited, producers of Awake Purified Drinking Water, has increased its financial commitment to the Cardiothoracic Centre at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.

On Wednesday, April 24, 2024, the Awake Purified Drinking Water brand donated GHS150,000 to the Cardio Centre, a 100% increase from previous donations of GHS75,000 over the years.

The GHS150,000 amount donated by Kasapreko Company, through its ‘One4Life’ charity-driven project, was the first-quarter payment of 2024 as they continue to support patients with heart conditions.

Since its inception, the ‘One4Life’ campaign has saved hundreds of children with severe heart conditions by setting aside 10 pesewas from the purchase of every 500ml of Awake Purified Drinking Water for donation.

Madam Linda Aidoo, Brands Manager at Kasapreko Company, stated that the company’s intention to increase support for the Cardio Centre was to make the funding accessible to more Ghanaians.

‘We want to thank Ghanaians for the Awake brand and their
continuous support towards donating to the Cardiothoracic Centre. We are committed to this partnership with Cardio Centre, as we financially support children with heart conditions.

‘We remain hopeful that our support will help facilitate better treatment and ease their financial burden while urging Ghanaians to patronise our products,’ she said.

Dr. Mark Mawutor Tettey, Acting Executive Director of the Cardiothoracic Centre, Korle-Bu Hospital, expressed gratitude to the Kasapreko brand for their increased support package for the centre.

He noted that the cost of administering better health care to people had increased over time, and it was essential for corporate Ghana to support their quest to render improved health services.

‘There are lots of patients who cannot afford the services we provide here, so this kind gesture by Awake is very much welcomed, and it would go a long way in supporting those who cannot afford it.

‘There is so much financial cost in the repair of machines or importing new ones for
centres, so this kind of support helps us mitigate the huge cost that comes with operating the centre.

Renowned Ghanaian gospel musician Diana Hamilton, who is also the brand ambassador for Awake Mineral Drinking Water, expressed excitement over the increased financial support for the centre.

‘It is a joy to see this day, and we are thankful for the ‘One4Life’ project, and hopefully we can do more in the future. Thank you to Ghanaians for patronising Awake Purified Drinking Water, knowing that a quota of their purchase goes to funding the Cardio Center. May God bless them,’ she said.

The ‘One4Life’ initiative has made a tangible difference in the lives of hundreds of children, and this increased funding will further support the Cardiothoracic Centre’s mission to provide quality care to those in need.
