FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Equiti Group has appointed Chantelle Johnson to the role of Group Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). She replaces Adrian Coxon, who leaves Equiti after one year as CMO.

We had reported last month that Chantelle Johnson had left her longtime position as CMO at OANDA. Her hiring is the latest in a number of senior executive moves at Equiti. The company hired ex ADSS UK CEO Paul Webb as COO of its London based Equiti Capital unit last month. That followed the move of Equiti Capital CEO Brian Myers from London to Dubai, to head the company’s growing offshore Seychelles and Africa business.

Chantelle Johnson brings a wealth of global marketing experience in rapidly growing companies within the industry. She has strong expertise in implementing and executing data driven digital marketing transformation across innovative customer value propositions that increases client acquisition and revenues. Her 20+ year career experience includes working in new and emerging markets in Africa, Asia, Europe, LATAM, the Middle East, UK, and the USA.

In her role at Equiti, she will be responsible for overseeing strategic marketing direction across the brand’s portfolio, with particular focus on driving customer growth through research led digital strategies, enhancing Equiti’s local touch to global offerings and initiatives. As a member of Equiti Group’s executive management team, Chantelle will help to scale the business in support of the company’s ambitious global growth strategy, which includes new markets and innovative products and offerings to be launched in the coming months.
