Trading 212’s head of product, Sergey Ryabov, has left his role, six months after joining from Revolut. He confirmed his departure in a LinkedIn update and outlined plans to focus on artificial intelligence.
Short period in trading 212
Ryabov joined the brokerage company last December. He has worked on product development, platform improvements, and AI-related initiatives. He said the company moved quickly and relied heavily on data to guide decisions.
“Six months ago, I wrote about why I joined. Looking back, I really love what we’ve built in such a short period — from the many new products and improvements we’ve introduced to the tremendous progress in AI transformation,” he said.
The environment is rare: the speed at which the company moves, the depth of data, and teams that are truly open to learning and taking on tough challenges. The focus is shifting to artificial intelligence.
Ryabov said rapid changes in artificial intelligence influenced his decision to leave. He plans to study how the artificial intelligence sector is developing and identify areas worth pursuing. He will continue to work as a consultant while exploring opportunities in the field of artificial intelligence.
Before trading 212, Ryabov held senior roles at Revolut. He led the wealth and trading division, overseeing products, strategy and operations. During his time there, the company increased the number of active users and improved their retention rate.
He also led the product strategy for trading services, including the launch of CFDs, ETFs, bonds and robo-advisory tools. Earlier in his career, Ryabov worked at Tinkov.
