Will Abbott, CEO of 4 Eyes Capital commented: "I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ivan for close to 20 years - initially sitting elbow-to-elbow on the Deutsche Bank trading floor. Ivan combines a deep passion for markets - he truly lives and breathes markets - with one of the sharpest mathematical minds I have come across. We are thrilled to have such a talent join and strengthen our team of Portfolio Managers as we expand into new asset classes."

Ivan broke into the World of high finance in 2005 by joining Deutsche Bank London, trading credit and interest rate derivatives. He then moved to VTB in 2008 first as Head of Investment Strategy and then as Head of Principal Trading from 2010 - 2016, where he managed over $5bn across asset classes. Since 2016 he has been managing private money focusing on systematic delta-neutral strategies and digital assets.

Ivan commented: "Our journey with Will began in 2006, where we first crossed paths as colleagues. What started as a professional relationship quickly grew into a strong bond, rooted in mutual respect and a shared passionate interest in financial markets. Over the years, that connection evolved into a friendship, shaped by countless experiences and a common vision for what's possible. Now, I'm genuinely excited to take the next step by joining 4 Eyes Capital. This isn't just a new role; it's a chance to join a team of top professionals led by someone I've grown to admire and trusted for nearly two decades. I am genuinely thrilled and look forward to bringing my expertise to the table to help build something truly impactful."

Ivan holds an MBA from London Business School and a MSc. in Mathematics from Moscow State University.
