About Me
David Kivakude, a seasoned business professional with a passion for excellence and a relentless drive to succeed. My journey in the financial world began early at just 17 years old, by the age of 20, I became the youngest branch manager in the UK for NatWest.
NatWest (Royal Bank of Scotland Group)
I led a branch in London to remarkable success and our branch (Grade A) was the show case branch for NatWest all over the country. My 10 year tenure at NatWest was marked by numerous promotions, a testament to my commitment to growth and development, both personally and professionally.
Throughout my career, I’ve embraced diverse roles, each contributing to my deep understanding of the financial landscape.
DeVere Global Financial Consultancy
I expanded my horizons by working in Paris as a financial consultant with DeVere Group. This experience was pivotal, not only in deepening my financial acumen but also in cultivating a global perspective that has been invaluable in my subsequent ventures.
Cystar Insurance Services Limited
Upon returning to the UK, I transitioned into the insurance sector, where I played a crucial role in the growth of Cystar Insurance Services Limited.
As the managing partner, I was instrumental in expanding the client base, attracting high-profile clients including royalty, sheikhs, sports stars, and celebrities. My focus has always been on building long-term business relationships.
I am proud of the decade of achievements at Cystar 🏆I sold my share within the business in 2022-2023.
Relationships are very important to me and whether you are a client or a partner we maintain a lifelong friends and business connection. This is an instrumental part of my business philosophy.

Inspirational Story
I’m incredibly proud to be part of the Spotware team, where the company’s culture truly sets it apart. At Spotware, we live by the “Traders First” philosophy, and it’s not just a slogan—it’s a commitment that drives everything we do. The focus is always on delivering the best experience for traders and brokers! Working in an environment where everyone is aligned with that mission is inspiring.

Reflecting on the incredible month of July, I’m filled with gratitude and amazement. Celebrating my 40th birthday was just the beginning. I flew to London twice, participated in a dad’s 100m race (despite tearing my hamstring and suffering a slipped disc), and then flew back to Cyprus for a surprise 40th birthday celebration the very next day.
Thanks to the unwavering support from my physio and chiropractor, and a commitment to getting back into the gym, swimming, and working hard, I made a full recovery.
Professionally, July was a milestone month. We successfully closed numerous deals and established brokers and prop firms from start to finish. Broker dreams and aspirations made into reality. Providing World-Class Service and going the extra mile for my clients remains my top priority. This commitment doesn’t end with a single transaction; it’s about building lasting relationships.
How do I measure success? Feedback is valuable, but for me, the true measure is through recommendations. When a client recommends my services, it signifies their trust and confidence in my ability to deliver exceptional results.
I carry the lessons and successes of July with me. Despite the hurdles, I remained positive, reached the finish line, and ended the month on a high!

Inspirational Story From YouTube Educator to Owning a Prop Firm: Realising a Dream at IFXEXPO Limassol ⭐
Attending the iFX EXPO in Limassol was an incredible experience, one that highlighted the power of networking and collaboration in the financial industry. One encounter, in particular, stands out and serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation and determination.
At the expo, I met an inspiring individual who came from an education and YouTube background. He had a substantial following and a bold vision: to leverage his audience and expertise to realise his dream of opening a prop firm. Intrigued by his ambition, I took the time to deeply understand his core issues, fundamentals, and what he needed to succeed.
We discussed his goals, and I identified that the cTrader platform would be an ideal solution, offering everything necessary from a platform perspective. However, there were additional components required to bring his vision to life. Recognising the opportunity presented by the expo, we decided to utilise our time there to connect with fellow exhibitors and partners.
Together, we navigated the expo floor, meeting with various partners and scheduling meetings to solidify plans for the week following the event. Our collaboration was so productive that the client decided to extend his stay. This allowed us to delve deeper into the steps of integration with one of the providers and set up meetings with others to ensure all aspects were covered.
In addition to the technical and operational arrangements, we also coordinated efforts for the website and marketing strategies. By the end of the expo, we had a comprehensive plan in place, and the client was well on his way to achieving his first milestone.
I’m thrilled to share that the client has made significant progress in establishing his prop firm, and it’s been a privilege to support him on this journey. This is just the beginning; his next goal is to create his own CFD brokerage, and I have no doubt he will achieve it.
Working with such passionate and driven individuals is what makes this industry so rewarding.
Here’s to realising dreams and creating new success stories together!
