After an incredible chapter, I have decided to step down from my position as Group Marketing Director at EC Markets.

When I joined, there was almost no global marketing function or presence. Today, seeing the team, the office and the global brand we have built makes me incredibly proud.

One of my proudest moments was bringing Liverpool FC and EC Markets together.

But my biggest achievement will always be the people.

To everyone who trusted me and joined me at EC Markets, thank you. We went through good times and difficult times, made mistakes, had disagreements, laughed a lot, and celebrated some incredible achievements. Through it all, we shared one goal, to make EC Markets number one ☝️.

I could not be prouder of every single member of my team and what we achieved together.

A special thank you to Matthew Smith for the trust you gave me from day one. I will always be grateful for the opportunity.

I leave with nothing but pride and gratitude.

Thank you, EC Markets.
Thank you to my team. 💪💪
