IS Prime Hires Poltavsky

Eduard Poltavsky has joined IS Prime’s institutional sales team in London. In a newly created sales director role, he will focus predominantly on sales of IS Prime’s agency execution service across the EMEA region.

Poltavsky was last performance director, FX market development, EMEA at Refinitiv. He has also held positions including director of e-FX sales at GTX, and director of FX sales at what was BATS Hotspot. He will report to Barry Flanigan, head of liquidity and distribution at IS Prime.

“Eduard brings invaluable insight and expertise to our team and a wealth of contacts within banks, distribution platforms and asset management firms. He will be a real asset to IS Prime,” says Flanagan.

Poltavsky adds, “This is a great opportunity for me to drive further growth for IS Prime’s agency execution business. IS Prime has an excellent track record in the industry and I believe they can add real value to institutional clients through the combination of their liquidity and prime of prime services.”
