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.

No centro disso está o compromisso contínuo para com a inovação, segurança e acessibilidade. Estou entusiasmado por contribuir para a expansão global dos negócios da Deriv, ao lado de Jean-Yves, enquanto levamos a empresa para outros 25 anos de sucesso.”

É praticada em todos os níveis da empresa, em conformidade com os valores fundamentais da empresa de integridade, competência, orientação para o cliente e trabalho de equipa.

You are a pillar of support to us, NAHCON tells Uzodinma


The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), has described Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo as its ‘pillar of support’.

Its Executive Chairman, Malam Jalal Arabi, stated this when he received Uzodinma on a courtesy visit to the Muslims pilgrimage office on Thursday in Abuja.

Arabi, who expressed delight at hosting the governor, commended his interventions toward ensuring that intending pilgrims from Imo participated in this year’s pilgrimage.

‘You have been a pillar of support to us in the commission through your support that ensured the participation of Imo pilgrims in this year’s exercise.

‘You supported us in 2023 and did same this year in spite of the fact that you are a Christian and governor of a predominantly Christian State.

‘For us, you’re a symbol of peaceful religious co-existence and unity in the country,’ he said.

The NAHCON boss presented a letter of commendation to Uzodinma and an award of excellence for his support and promotion of peaceful religious co-existence and unity.

Responding, U
zodinma expressed sincere appreciation for the honour shown him.

He restated his firm belief in peaceful inter-faith co-existence to promote development and prosperity in Imo and the country as a whole.

Uzodinma was one of the governors that subsidised the 2024 Hajj fare which enabled intending pilgrims from his state to participate in this year’s Muslim pilgrimage.

NGO begins campaign to shape students’ behavior in FCT schools


The Advocacy for Positive Behavioral Patterns Initiative (APBPI) has launched a campaign to cultivate positive behaviors among secondary school students in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Mr Bamidele Mann, the APBPI Campaign Team Director, announced this on Thursday during the campaign kick-off at Government Secondary School, Life Camp, Gwarinpa, Abuja.

Mann stated that the campaign aims to promote character development to foster positive change among Nigerian students and society at large.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the campaign was organized by APBPI in collaboration with the FCT Secondary Education Board.

The theme of the campaign is titled, ‘Dialogue on Violence and Conflict Resolution for FCT Secondary School Students.’

In his remarks, Mr Sani Ladan, the Secretary of the FCT Secondary Education Board, mentioned that part of the board’s mandate is to nurture good students.

Ladan, represented by Dr Ajayi Olatunde, emphasised that the board has counselors tasked with helping s
tudents shape their behavior positively.

He highlighted the challenge of students coming from diverse homes with different backgrounds.

The board’s secretary recalled that in 2023, the board developed, published, and distributed an anti-bullying manual to schools to tackle the issue of violence in the FCT education system.

He commended APBPI for partnering with the board to make a difference in FCT schools.

Mrs. Akerele Irene, the Principal of Government Secondary School, Life Camp, Gwarinpa, Abuja, stressed the importance of fostering positive behavior patterns to protect children and ensure a conducive environment.

Irene, represented by the Vice Principal Academy, Hajia Bilkisu Ibrahim, lauded the NGO for its initiative.

Ms. Rinsola Abiola, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Citizenship and Leadership, encouraged students to embrace education as it adds value to their lives.

She described education as the cornerstone of social development that students must prioritise.

Abiola also disc
ussed the transition from childhood to adulthood, noting the various changes that impact behavior during this period.

She advised students to prioritise conflict resolution skills in whatever situations they encounter.

‘The tendency to escalate conflicts during adolescence can be attributed to several factors, including behavioral changes as teens transition into adulthood,’ she said.

Wike’s dedication remains integral to achieving sustainable progress – Ndarani1


A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mohammed Ndarani, says Mr Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)’s dedication to the welfare of Nigerians remains integral to achieving sustainable progress.

Ndarani disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.

He said that Wike’s exemplary leadership and vision would ensure the progress and prosperity of all as the nation continues to navigate its development trajectory.

The senior lawyer noted that the residents of Abuja were seeing the firsthand results of his endeavours every day, with new projects constantly being launched.

He underscored the significance of Wike’s contributions to the enhancement of infrastructure and quality of life in the FCT.

‘His proactive approach and unwavering commitment to progress has earned him widespread acclamation and admiration.

‘He has been connecting the FCT with bridges and solar panel lighting, and has rehabilitated roads and bridges in the FCT totaling 135
roads mainly in the Garki, Wuse, Gwarimpa, and Maitama districts.

‘ He is also in the process of renovating the Vice President’s home, building the outer southern motorway from the Villa roundabout to Ring Road I, putting other road and rail infrastructure projects in progress, and seeing to the formation of the FCT Civil Service Commission, which included the appointment of nine permanent secretaries”.

Ndarani said that Wike was a valuable asset at President Ahmed Tinubu’s disposal because of his extraordinary skill and commitment as the minister of the FCT.

‘Remember that in February, Wike topped the list of President Tinubu administration’s 12 performing ministers in the list of identified ministers in the Economic Confidential report released.

‘The publication, after reviewing the actions of the current Federal Executive Council (FEC) members, highlighted their efforts and achievements since assumption of office.

‘Wike was in the list for establishing the FCT Civil Service Commission to guarantee ca
reer progression, ordering contractors to complete ongoing road, rail and township projects, and for prioritising security measures, revenue generation, as well as restoring the original Abuja master plan’.

NAN recalls that after the swearing-in, Tinubu announced that Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) would be deployed to assess the impact of ministers and their ministries.

Following the review of the current Federal Executive Council (FEC) members, the publication in February, highlighted the achievements and efforts of the ministers since their resumption of office.

The report said that some ministers have shown competence in their respective duties.

The report stated that beyond pragmatic initiatives and impactful programmes, the performing ministers also deployed effective media relations and strategic stakeholder engagements. (NAN)
