Simpson will be responsible for building TMX Group’s marketing strategy with a focus on enhancing the company’s presence and impact across various channels, including digital, mobile and social media. Corporate communications and media relations will report to Simpson who will, in turn, report to Lou Eccleston, TMX Group’s CEO.

Prior to joining TMX Group in this new position, Simpson was senior vice president of marketing and customer experience with Toronto-based Holt Renfrew & Co. Ltd.

She was also vice president of marketing communications at Toronto-based Rogers Communications Inc.

“The addition of Alison Simpson to our team is an important step forward for TMX as we accelerate our efforts to strengthen and redefine our core brand and to position our company for long-term success,” says Eccleston in a statement. “Alison brings a demonstrated level of expertise in team-building and strategic execution that will be vital to enlivening TMX’s digital presence and to ensuring the depth of our value proposition is clearly understood throughout the marketplace.”
