Christou made his departure public on LinkedIn, stating: “After a challenging yet enlightening two years with The Trading Pit, I am pleased to announce that I am moving in a new direction.
“From the outset, my team and I built the brand from the ground up, pouring endless hours and weekends into laying the foundations and nurturing it to the stature it holds today. Though our quiet diligence and sacrifices often remained behind the scenes, the outcomes have spoken for themselves. I extend my deepest gratitude to my remarkable team for their unwavering support and extraordinary commitment.
“Looking ahead, I am thrilled to embark on an exciting new venture that promises not only to leverage my skills but also to set new standards in the industry. The details of this next chapter, which I will share soon, are poised to make a significant impact.”

His responsibilities included developing, overseeing, and executing the company’s marketing goals and objectives.
