Former ADSS CMO Jo Benton Joins Marex as Group Head of Brand and Channels

Marex has appointed industry veteran Jo Benton as Group Head of Brand and Channels, marking her return to the financial services sector after several months away from the industry. Benton previously served nearly four years as Chief Marketing Officer at ADSS before stepping down earlier this year.

In a public update announcing the move, Benton explained that leaving ADSS was "a difficult but necessary decision," describing her time off as a period of "reflection" after a long stretch in senior marketing roles. "After a glorious few months of doing very little, the reset has arrived," she said. "I'm delighted to share that I've now joined Marex as Group Head of Brand and Channels."

Benton brings a long track record of marketing leadership across the trading, investing and CFD space. Before her time at ADSS, she held senior roles at Saxo Capital Markets, including Head of Marketing and PR, and worked earlier in her career at CMC Markets, where she served as UK Marketing Manager and later Group Head of Marketing and Brand. Her background also includes positions at GFT as Director of Global Product Marketing and at GAIN Capital as Head of Marketing for EMEA.
