Former Investing.com CEO Mickey Winitsky Joins Board of ADVFN

ADVFN has appointed former Investing.com Co-CEO Mickey Winitsky to its Board of Directors as the company expands its global retail investor platform.

According to the announcement, Winitsky joins the board as ADVFN continues to grow its portfolio of retail trader portals through recent M&A activity. The group has acquired Australia’s HotCopper and Canada’s Stockhouse, significantly increasing its reach across major investor communities.

Winitsky served as Co-CEO of Investing.com from 2018 to 2020, stepping down following the platform’s $500 million acquisition. He has since acted as an investor and director across several online ventures and previously led the K Verse digital marketing unit of K Logic.

In a social media statement, Winitsky said he was pleased to join the British firm’s board, noting that ADVFN’s acquisitions now give the group access to “30 million yearly users across investor communities.” He added that the company aims to build a “retail-first capital-markets platform” that connects small-cap issuers with engaged investors while improving tools and data for retail traders.

ADVFN has been reshaping its leadership team following its delisting from the London Stock Exchange. The company appointed former eToro Deputy CEO and CFO Shalom Berkovitz to its board last year, further strengthening its expertise in online brokerage and retail trading ecosystems.

The firm said Winitsky’s experience scaling global trading platforms will support its ongoing expansion strategy. ADVFN continues to position itself as a major aggregator of investor communities, leveraging acquisitions to widen its influence across international capital markets.
