After two decades in the financial space, Victoria Paling, the Global Head of Institutional and Corporate Marketing, EMEA Head of retail at CMC Markets, is transitioning to the creative digital space.

In a lengthy LinkedIn post on Tuesday, Paling mentioned that she is moving to Rabid Rat.

“I’m incredibly excited to share that after 20 years in the financial services sector, I’ve made the leap back into the agency world. My very early career actually started agency-side before moving into film and television. In many ways, this feels like a full circle moment — a return to my creative roots and to a space I loved deeply and am thrilled to be reconnecting with.”
