FNEX Appoints Chief Marketing Officer

FNEX, an online alternative investments marketplace, has appointed Carissa Newton as the company’s chief marketing officer.

Newton will report directly to FNEX CEO Todd Ryden and lead all marketing efforts at FNEX. She over 20 years of marketing experience in a variety of industries including financial services, insurance and technology. Prior to joining FNEX, Newton served as chief marketing officer at Oak Street Funding, where she oversaw marketing and new business development for the firm.

“Carissa’s deep understanding of financial services and technology makes her uniquely qualified to head up marketing for FNEX,” says Ryden. “As our marketplace continues to attract participants in its first year, it is critical for us to build brand awareness throughout the investment community.”

“I am eager to bring what I’ve learned throughout my career to bear at FNEX,” says Newton. “There is something particularly exciting about being part of an early stage company and I am confident that our national ad push will be well received as we work to help drive broader awareness of this innovative new marketplace.”
