Bullwaves, a Seychelles-based forex and contracts for difference (CFD) broker, has appointed Martin Stoilov as chief operating officer (COO). He will oversee day-to-day operations as the company works to grow its international business and improve its trading services. Stoilov brings more than five years of senior experience from FP Markets, most recently as global head of customer experience and client relations.
Who Is Martin Stoilov?
Martin Stoilov spent more than five years at FP Markets in senior roles covering customer experience, client relations and operations. In his most recent position, he was global head of customer experience and client relations, where he led efforts to improve service quality, client engagement and operational efficiency.
His background also includes managing international teams and improving customer support. He has worked on strategies to attract and retain clients, as well as on the use of automation and artificial intelligence in brokerage operations. Taken together, this mix of client-facing and operational experience is the main reason his appointment stands out: the COO role at a broker depends as much on service delivery as on internal processes.

- Management of international teams
- Work on client acquisition and retention strategies
- Involvement with automation and artificial intelligence in brokerage operations
What the COO Role Covers at Bullwaves
At Bullwaves, Stoilov will manage day-to-day operations and help coordinate work across departments. A COO typically sits between strategy and execution, turning company priorities into workable processes that teams can follow. In Bullwaves' case, the brief also includes several growth-related responsibilities.
His remit includes supporting the broker's international expansion, improving the customer experience, strengthening partner relationships and building systems that can support business growth. Each of these areas touches the trading client directly, even when the work happens behind the scenes.
| Area of responsibility | What it covers | Why it matters to clients |
|---|---|---|
| Day-to-day operations | Running routine processes and keeping the business working smoothly | Consistent handling of accounts, requests and daily workflows |
| Cross-department coordination | Aligning sales, support, technology and other teams | Fewer gaps between what the company promises and what staff deliver |
| International expansion | Supporting the growth of the broker's international business | Changes in the range of markets and regions served over time |
| Customer experience | Improving how clients interact with the company | Support quality and the ease of solving problems |
| Partner relationships | Strengthening links with business partners | Stability and quality of the services built on those partnerships |
| Systems for growth | Building infrastructure that can scale with the business | Whether the broker can handle more clients without service slipping |
Why the Appointment Matters in a Competitive Market
The appointment comes as forex and CFD brokers face stronger competition in international markets. Many firms are investing in technology, automation and customer support to improve their services and attract clients. In a crowded market, operational quality is often what separates brokers that retain clients from those that do not.
Bullwaves has also been expanding its technology partnerships and trading services. Stoilov's appointment adds an executive with experience at an established brokerage as the company develops its operations and international business. For a growing broker, bringing in someone who has already run customer experience and client relations at a large, well-known firm can help shape how the company plans its next stage.
How This Could Affect Traders
An executive appointment does not change a broker's terms overnight. Spreads, account types, platforms and regulatory status are set by the company and its licences, not by a single manager. However, leadership changes in operations and customer experience tend to show up in day-to-day service over time, so it is reasonable for existing and prospective clients to watch for a few specific signs.
What traders may notice over time
- Response times and quality of support when clients raise questions
- How smoothly account, funding and withdrawal processes run
- Clearer communication about services, updates and changes
- Expansion into new markets or services, and how those launches are handled
- Stability and reliability of trading technology and partner-provided services
None of these outcomes is guaranteed, and the announcement itself does not state specific service changes. The best way to judge the impact is to observe the broker's performance directly over the coming months.
How to Evaluate a Broker's Operations Yourself
Executive news is interesting, but a broker should be judged on what clients experience. Traders comparing firms can use a simple checklist to assess operational quality before committing funds.
- Check the regulatory position. Confirm which regulator, if any, oversees the entity you would open an account with, and verify the details on the regulator's own public register.
- Read the terms carefully. Look at the costs, execution model, margin rules and withdrawal conditions published in the broker's documents.
- Test support before you deposit. Send a few questions through the channels offered and note how quickly and clearly they are answered.
- Look at the funding process. Review deposit and withdrawal methods, any fees and how long processing takes according to the broker's published information.
- Compare with independent reviews. Cross-check the broker against other sources, including our own reviews. For example, you can compare the approach of other firms in our XM Group review or the FBS Inc review.
Leadership appointments are one signal among many. Operational quality shows up most clearly in how a broker handles ordinary requests, especially when markets are volatile.
