Course tutor
Her career began in retail banking, and she worked for London Stock Exchange between 1994 and 2009 in a variety of roles including relationship management for member firms and issuers, marketing, internal communications and training. From this she built up a wealth of knowledge on both the primary and secondary markets and saw how the markets evolved, reacted and adjusted as fully electronic trading was implemented in London. In a break from the London Stock Exchange in 1998 Tracey set up and managed her own business venture, returning after 3 years in 2001. She has since then designed and delivered training programmes for the London Stock Exchange including "Inside the Markets" and "Trading on the London Stock Exchange". She holds an MBA from the University of Bradford Management Centre as well as the Chartered Institute of Marketing Postgraduate Diploma.
