Trading 212 Head of Product Sergei Riabov Leaves to Focus on AI

Sergei Riabov, Head of Product at retail trading platform Trading 212, has left the brokerage to concentrate on artificial intelligence. The move was announced in a brief notice, without additional information on the timeline or his future projects.

Riabov was responsible for product strategy and development at Trading 212, overseeing the platform's trading experience for retail clients. His departure represents a notable change in the company's product leadership ranks.

No successor has been named, and Trading 212 has not offered further public comment on the handover. The company's product priorities and how it will fill the role are expected to draw attention from industry observers.

The exit adds to a broader pattern of product and technology executives moving from trading firms into AI-related work. Trading platforms across the retail space have been stepping up investment in machine learning and data-driven features, and Riabov's focus on AI aligns with that shift.

More details about Riabov's next steps may emerge in the coming weeks.
