Digitain brings in Martirosyan as deputy CEO

In his new role, Martirosyan will join the Digitain Group of companies’ leadership team and support the business with its global growth plans.

An experienced executive, Martirosyan joins Digitain after a three-and-a-half-year spell as president of the Armenian British Business Chamber.

Prior to this, he spent almost six years with HSBC Bank Armenia, in what was the last of three spells at companies within the HSBC group. Here, he served in a number of roles, including director of corporate banking.

During a separate spell with HSBC Bank Armenia, he worked in positions such as deputy chief risk officer and deputy head of commercial banking.

In addition, between working for the Armenian arm of HSBC, Martirosyan spent two years as senior business risk and control manager for global commercial banking at HSBC Bank plc.

“I’m honoured to join the Digitain Group as it expands its business operations within continental Europe, the UK and beyond,” Martirosyan said. 

“The business is an example of a great organisation, people and culture and technology delivery which has been recognised with multiple international and local industry and business awards.”

Digitain founder Varges Vardanyan added: “We are delighted for Martin to join our senior leadership team. Our business continues to grow globally strategically across several multiple regulated markets. 

“Martin, who has held senior corporate positions with HSBC, brings that wealth of experience as our group of companies expands and we service more B2C partner operators in regulated markets.” 

Senior hires

The appointment of Martirosyan marks the latest senior hire at Digitain. 

In April, the group appointed Grigor Asoyan as its new group deputy CEO of technology, promoting him from the role of chief technology officer.

Earlier in the year, Digitain also announced the appointment of Iain Hutchison as chief revenue officer.
