Sydney-headquartered Blueberry Markets, a retail broker, recently strengthened its team with the appointment of Govinda Pathak as the Head of Marketing. The appointment came when the brokerage partnered with several prop trading firms to offer services.

On his LinkedIn profile, Pathak highlighted that his role at the brokerage will be to “shape the marketing strategy.”

Onboarding of a Marketing Head

Pathak joined the Australia-based broker from Stake, an investment platform with a presence in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Brazil where he has been the Growth Lead for about the last two and a half years. He again pointed out that he helped the company in growing globally “at an exceptional rate.”

According to his LinkedIn profile, Pathak started his journey in marketing in mid-2012. He worked with several Indian companies in the marketing department before moving to Australia with a Product Marketing role at WipeHero.

The role at Blueberry Markets is Pathak’s first appointment at a brokerage that offers over-the-counter derivatives like forex and contracts for differences (CFDs).

An Australian Broker

Blueberry Markets was founded in 2015 by Dean Hyde who is now heading the broker as the Chief Executive Officer. Hyde was previously at Axi, another Australia-headquartered CFDs broker, and has onboarded multiple former executives from Axi, including the Chief Commercial Officer at Blueberry, Ajak Biar.

In January, Blueberry Markets expanded its leadership with the appointment of Christopher Nelson-Smith as the Head of Trading and Operations, who is now responsible for maximizing eFX and CFDs in trading revenue by optimizing the trade flow of all our products.

Blueberry offers trading services with a range of asset classes, covering FX, metals, commodities, cryptocurrencies, indices, and Share CFDs. The broker is regulated by the local Australian authority, ASIC, and has authorization in two offshore jurisdictions, Vanuatu and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
