The opening event was attended by FXCM’s senior executive team including President Robert Lande, CEO Brendan Callan, and COO Tong Yi Tsui. The Sofia office is led by Branch Manager Ivaylo Sekoulitchki, who has been with the company since the start of its presence in Bulgaria.

FXCM currently has approximately 170 staff in Sofia, with the capacity of the office totaling 240 people. Some of the features of the new home of the company in Bulgaria include a fully-equipped gym, a game room, a study library, and a dedicated training room.

The location of the new premises of the brokerage company is close to a park, a major metro station, situated right across the street from Paradise Center, one of the largest malls on the Balkan peninsula.

FXCM’s presence in Bulgaria started with about 6 people, 6 years ago. The company since made a massive leap forward, with the broker’s management committed to expanding the presence of the company on the local jobs market further.

FXCM is currently looking to fill close to 50 positions in Sofia. While the firm is looking for a broad range of talent, the main focus areas are Tech Support, Customer Service, and Back Office Operations.

Aside from the local Branch Manager Sekoulitchki, the company’s Sofia location is also home to the company’s VP of Compliance, Savina Cherneva. Teodora Rangelova is the local HR manager for the company. 

Commenting at the official opening, the local Branch Manager, Ivaylo Sekoulitchki said: “I want to thank the team and we are looking forward to turning this endeavor into the company’s biggest base of operations worldwide.”
