Exclusive: GMI hires TIO Markets exec Chantelle Lea as Head of Marketing
FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that Retail FX and CFDs broker GMI Markets (which operates website gmimarkets.com) has hired Cyprus based executive Chantelle Lea as the company’s new Head of Marketing. GMI Markets, formally domiciled in Vanuatu and Mauritius, is linked by common ownership to FCA regulated institutional FX broker Global Market Index Ltd, which operates under the brand GMI UK.
Chantelle Lea joins GMI from Cyprus based TIO Markets, where she was Senior Marketing Manager, reporting to TIO Markets CMO Helen Astaniou. Prior to joining TIO Markets in 2018, Chantelle worked in marketing for TIO Markets’ sister company FXPrimus. (Both TIO Markets and FXPrimus are controlled by Malaysian businessman Manmohan Singh Balbir Singh). She has also worked previously at Windsor Brokers.
This marks the second major management change made at the GMI group over the past few months. We also reported exclusively back in April that Zaid Alkhatib was replacing GMI’s controlling shareholder Ashraf Ebid as CEO of GMI UK, with Mr. Ebid stepping aside from day-to-day management of the company to pursue projects in technology and eCommerce.
FNG spoke with Jeff Chao, Managing Director of GMI, who said:
“We are very pleased to have Chantelle Lea join our global team as our Global Head of Marketing, and I look forward to working with Chantelle growing and further developing our cutting edge digital marketing plan.”
Chantelle Lea added:
“I am very pleased to join GMI and work with Jeff Chao, Ashraf Ebid, Mikhail Yakutovich and the rest of the GMI team. I am really impressed with the technology, products and services set that GMI has to offer and I look forward to helping GMI achieve higher success in marketing.”
