ThinkMarkets Hires GMI’s Chantelle Lea as Marketing Manager

ThinkMarkets, a London and Melbourne-headquartered multi-asset online broker, has hired Chantelle Lea, a marketing executive with over a decade of industry experience, as its Marketing Manager.

Lea joined ThinkMarkets from Shanghai-headquartered forex and contract for difference (CFD) broker, Global Market Index (GMI) where she was the Head of Marketing.

The executive joined GMI in June this year and until her departure oversaw the broker’s business marketing strategy and brand presence development. Additionally, she provided leadership for the broker’s online and international marketing team.

Over the last 13 years, Lea has solidified her presence as a marketing executive within the Cypriot forex industry.

She has worked for top brokerage brands FXPRIMUS, Windsor Brokers and sister brand GWAZY, as well as TIO Markets.

Lea’s Career So Far

Before GMI, Lea worked for TIO Markets for over four years, first as a Project Manager and later as a Senior Marketing Manager.

At FXPRIMUS, she was first hired as a Marketing Communications Coordinator, a role she fulfiled for almost two years before becoming the Marketing Communications Manager.

Furthermore, she worked for Windsor Brokers for almost 12 years between September 2009 and July 2016.

Two years after Windsor Brokers launched GWAZY in 2013, Lea also took on the role of a marketing executive at the over-the-counter spot trading platform.
