CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, 26 avr. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — À l’approche de son 25e anniversaire, qui est un moment marquant pour cette entreprise de trading en ligne, Deriv a annoncé la promotion de Rakshit Choudhary du poste de directeur des opérations (COO) à celui de co-Président-directeur général (co-PDG). Ce modèle de co-leadership permettra de tirer parti des différentes forces et des diverses approches des deux dirigeants.

Le choix d’un tel modèle n’a pas uniquement une visée stratégique pour Deriv. Il permet à l’organisation d’intégrer des points de vue divers et le travail d’équipe à la prise de décisions critiques, afin de maintenir l’agilité de l’entreprise. Ce double cadre de leadership contribuera également à créer un environnement où le respect réciproque et la responsabilité partagée constituent la norme, et où l’autonomie individuelle est équilibrée par une vision collective.

D’après Jean-Yves Sireau, fondateur et co-PDG de Deriv : « Rakshit a l’étoffe du leader qui comprend parfaitement la vision de Deriv. Sa promotion au poste de co-PDG va donc de soi. C’est comme cette synergie que l’on observe dans la programmation en binôme, cela améliore la prise de décision et l’alignement des objectifs. »

« Le 25e anniversaire de Deriv marque un moment de réflexion. Renouveler notre modèle de leadership nous permet de passer à la phase supérieure de l’activité de Deriv, qui est axée sur une expansion mondiale et un engagement plus profond avec des marchés diversifiés. Cette double approche de leadership permet à Deriv de rester innovant et de s’engager en faveur d’un excellent service client et de partenariats solides. »

Choudhary, qui est titulaire d’une maîtrise obtenue au Georgia Institute of Technology, a occupé depuis 2009 les postes de spécialiste de l’analyse quantitative, puis responsable du développement quantitatif et de la recherche à Deriv. Il a ensuite occupé le poste de responsable du développement de produits avant d’être promu directeur des opérations en 2018.

Rakshit Choudhary fait part de ses impressions : « Participer directement, ces 14 dernières années, à la croissance et à l’évolution incroyables de Deriv, qui est resté fidèle à sa mission consistant à rendre le trading accessible à tous et partout, fut un privilège inédit pour moi. Au cœur de cette mission se trouve la volonté de rester innovant, sûr et accessible. C’est avec plaisir que continuerai à développer les activités de Deriv à l’échelle mondiale aux côtés de Jean-Yves, afin d’accompagner l’entreprise au cours de ses 25 prochaines années de succès. »

Deriv est également passée à un modèle de co-directrice financière, Jennice Lourdsamy, précédemment responsable des comptes et des paiements, assumant un double rôle de leadership en tant que co-directrice financière aux côtés de Louise Wolf, l’actuelle directrice financière. Le co-leadership ne se limite pas aux postes de direction. Chez Deriv, elle s’étend à tous les niveaux de l’entreprise et cadre avec ses valeurs que sont l’intégrité, la compétence, l’orientation client et l’esprit d’équipe.

Deriv reste fidèle à ses principes d’excellence en matière de leadership, marqués par une vision claire, des approches axées sur les résultats, un apprentissage continu et une propension à l’action. Ces principes alimentent les opérations quotidiennes et sont essentiels à la réalisation de la mission de Deriv : rendre les solutions de trading de pointe accessibles dans le monde entier.

The co-CEO model will capitalise on the different strengths and diverse perspectives of both leaders.

Choosing the co-model is not just a strategic move for Deriv. It lets the organisation incorporate diverse viewpoints and teamwork into critical decision-making to keep the business agile.

Jean-Yves Sireau, Founder and co-CEO of Deriv, said: “Rakshit is a great leader with a deep understanding of Deriv’s business, so his move to co-CEO is a natural step forward for us. It is like the synergy you see in pair programming—improved decision-making and better alignment of goals.

“Deriv turning 25 is a moment for reflection. Refreshing our leadership model makes us well-positioned to take on the next phase of Deriv’s business, which is focused on expanding globally and engaging more deeply with diverse markets. This dual leadership approach helps keep Deriv innovative and committed to excellent customer service and strong partnerships.”

Rakshit Choudhary shared his thoughts on his new role: “I have been lucky to be part of Deriv’s incredible growth and evolution for the last 14 years, witnessing firsthand its mission to make trading accessible to anyone, anywhere. At the centre of this is a focus on staying innovative, secure, and accessible. I look forward to continuing to grow Deriv’s business globally alongside Jean-Yves, as we take the company into another successful 25 years.”

Deriv has also transitioned to a co-CFO model with Jennice Lourdsamy, previously Head of Accounts and Payments taking a double leadership role as co-CFO alongside Louise Wolf, the current CFO. The co-leadership mindset does not end at the C-level. It is practised across Deriv at all levels, in line with the company’s values of integrity, competence, customer focus, and teamwork.

Deriv remains committed to its principles of leadership excellence, marked by clear vision, result-oriented approaches, continuous learning, and a bias for action.

Impairments Receive Artificial Limbs


The National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) and the West Pokot County government have provided prosthetic legs to local people with physical impairments, which is often unaffordable.

Speaking during the issuance at Kapenguria County Referral Hospital, NCPWD County Coordinator Edwin Musungu termed the assistive devices as very expensive for the common citizen, hence the need for government intervention to enable the victims lead a normal lifestyle.

Musungu stated that one cosmetic prosthetic leg goes for about Sh70,000 with those functional types going for Sh1 million, which majority of people may not afford, thus the need for the government to take care of issues affecting persons with such disabilities by protecting and promoting their rights.

‘The council in West Pokot County is implementing an assistive technology programme to assist individuals with disabilities in enhancing their mobility and ensuring a decent living,’ said the county coordinator.

He explained that through the program
me, 15 people were fitted with prosthetic limps under the pilot phase with more expected to benefit from all other subcounties once assessments are done.

‘This is just the beginning because beneficiaries have been identified from West Pokot Sub County and we believe going forward, the programme will be rolled out in all other subcounties for more beneficiaries,’ said Musungu.

He called on well-wishers and partners to join the government in providing the devices noting that the government has been upfront in supporting people living with disabilities.

‘Lack of such assistive devices has made some people miss schooling, which is a drawback to development. We call upon more stakeholders to come on board and assist such members of society,’ he appealed.

The cordinator reiterated the council’s commitment to the provision of the devices in strict accordance with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) protocols urging other service providers to adhere to them.

Meanwhile, a physiotherapist at Kapenguria County re
ferral hospital Mark Chelule said it was a rare privilege to see people with disabilities being fixed with artificial limbs hinting that in the next few weeks another assessment will be conducted to identify other beneficiaries.

He asked those not reached to contact the physiotherapy section at the hospital or visit the people with disabilities offices for assistance.

For instance, Dancan Sawanga from Gateway Prosthetics and Orthotics Limited noted that the initiative to have the victims fixed with the artificial lower limbs called for a lot of patience since measurements were to be taken before effecting the process.

‘We took measurements sometimes back and we are aware the beneficiaries have been waiting but today all has come to fruition. The devices are good and aesthetic, hence a success,’ posed Sawanga.

On his part, an excited Noah Tanui from Talau location narrated that his predicaments came after an accident while he was riding a bicycle which led him to lose his leg but he now has a replacement.

A
lso, Janerose Kipkeny from Tartar said her leg was amputated after getting injured three years ago and her admission to hospital bore no fruit.

Mourine Charito from Kacheliba said she was born without one leg and her greatest joy is being fitted with artificial limbs.

She expressed her admiration for those who walk on their two feet, stating that today is his day to walk comfortably, overcoming the stigma he has been suffering.

At the same time, Stanley Kinywa from prosthetics and orthotic medical said they have been working with the council for the past four years and were being sent counties of their choice, where they congregate with those in need of the devices.

Kenya Forest Service Launches The Long Rains Tree Planting Campaign


Amidst the ongoing long rains sweeping across Kenya, citizens are being encouraged to seize the opportunity to contribute to the nation’s green legacy by planting trees.

The call was made by Kenya Forest Service (KFS) Board chairman Titus Korir during the national launch of the long rainfall tree-growing campaign at Chepalungu forest station, Siongiroi block in Bomet County on Thursday.

Representing Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya, Korir emphasised the importance of this initiative in achieving the presidential target of planting 15 billion trees by 2032.

The event witnessed the planting of over 3,000 trees and the installation of electric fences covering a 22-kilometre stretch. Bomet County Commissioner Dr. Ahmed Omar and Bomet County Forest Conservator Joseph Kingori were among the dignitaries present.

‘We are here today for the launch of the tree planting season which marks the rollout of tree-growing activities for the March-April-May long rainfall season,’ sta
ted Korir, highlighting the theme for this season: ’15 billion trees by 2032, wajibu wetu’ (our responsibility).

Korir urged citizens to capitalise on the enhanced rainfall season to bolster tree cover across the nation, emphasising the critical role trees play in mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.

Acknowledging the efforts of the KFS Board and staff, Korir revealed that the Board is steadfastly supporting the KFS in its endeavour to grow 300 million trees annually.

He commended the dedication of forest rangers who have taken on the additional responsibility of raising tree seedlings to meet this target.

Furthermore, Korir outlined the KFS’s commitment to forest conservation and protection, citing initiatives such as the Fire Project and the installation of communication masts to facilitate rapid response to fire outbreaks.

He also highlighted the integration of drone technology for surveillance purposes, with several staff members trained as drone operators.

In a bid to ensure the realis
ation of the 15 billion tree target, Korir called upon every Kenya Forest Service staff member to spearhead tree-growing efforts at the county level and provide technical support to stakeholders involved in tree planting.

Expressing gratitude to partners for their support towards tree-growing initiatives, Korir affirmed the KFS’s unwavering commitment to these activities, aligning with the government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
