An experienced marketing professional has recently taken on the role of Chief Marketing Officer at Alchemy Markets after departing from a previous position during a significant staff departure at another brokerage firm. This individual brings nearly twenty years of expertise in the marketing sector, particularly within the finance and trading industry.
Alchemy Markets operates as a broker for forex and contracts for differences (CFDs), and is regulated in both Seychelles and Malta. The new Chief Marketing Officer’s prior experience includes serving in the same role at BDSwiss for over two years. Before this, they worked as a Marketing Executive at Skilling, another broker focused on FX and CFDs. Their journey in the retail trading arena began in 2012 when they took on the role of Head of Marketing at CommexFX.
The new appointee also had a brief tenure as Creative Director at ForexTime (FXTM) in Cyprus and has contributed to various organizations such as Impact Tech and Allocated Bullion Exchange throughout their career.
The previous brokerage firm, BDSwiss, experienced a pronounced turnover of employees last year, with initial reports indicating at least ten departures, which later proved to be an underestimate. Not long after this exodus, the Cyprus financial regulator suspended the company’s license due to compliance issues, although BDSwiss continued to provide liquidity and technology solutions under a different brand utilizing its existing Cyprus license.
Other former executives from BDSwiss have also transitioned to new opportunities in the industry. For instance, another departing executive, who left at the same time, established a proprietary trading firm and subsequently took on a new position as Chief Sales Officer at INGOT Brokers, all while managing their own trading platform. Additionally, another individual who departed is now the Chief Commercial Officer at Key to Markets.
The influx of marketing talent at Alchemy Markets, alongside the broader trend of industry movement among key players, signals a dynamic environment. As the firm continues to establish its presence in the brokerage sector, the integration of seasoned professionals is likely to bolster its strategic marketing initiatives and growth prospects.
Finally, the changing landscape post-exodus suggests a reorganization and evolution among market participants, highlighting the competitive nature of the brokerage industry as it adapts to regulatory challenges and seeks to leverage expertise in various financial markets.
