    - Sponsorships: Under Gruebner’s leadership, Pepperstone secured notable sponsorships with the ATP Tour, Geelong Cats, Adelaide Strikers, and South East Melbourne Phoenix, enhancing the brand's visibility and market presence.
    - Pepperstone Trading App: The development and release of the Pepperstone trading app marked a significant milestone in the company’s digital transformation journey.
    - Global Brand Campaigns: Partnering with Saatchi & Saatchi NZ, Pepperstone launched three impactful global brand campaigns, with the latest featuring tennis legend John McEnroe.

Looking ahead, Gruebner expressed his excitement about exploring new opportunities and challenges. He stated:

"As I look towards the future, I’m excited about exploring new opportunities and challenges. If you know of any roles or projects where I can bring my passion for leadership, marketing, strategy, digital transformation, analytics and AI to the table, please reach out. I’m eager to see what the next chapter holds!"

Tony Gruebner’s departure from Pepperstone marks the end of a significant chapter in his career, but also opens the door to new possibilities where he can apply his extensive expertise in marketing, digital transformation, and analytics.
