Retail-investing brand builder and media personality known as “The Blonde Broker” joins Corgi to help scale the brand’s reach among everyday investors
CHICAGO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corgi, an AI-driven financial infrastructure company, today announced that Erin Gambrel has joined the firm as VP, Financial Services. The appointment brings a well-known voice in retail investing into Corgi’s leadership team, with a focused mandate: driving growth and brand reach for Corgi’s ETF lineup among retail investors, as the company continues to expand its ETF platform and broader financial services footprint.
“Bringing Erin onto the team is exactly the kind of move that compounds,” said Nico Laqua, CEO of Corgi. “We’ve built fast on the product side, with nearly 200 ETFs and counting. What Erin brings is a decade of building financial brands designed to engage and educate retail investors. That’s a different skill than marketing, and it’s rare. Her audience, her credibility, and her focus on the retail side of our ETF lineup are a direct multiplier on everything else we’re doing as a brand.”
About Erin Gambrel
Ms. Gambrel joins Corgi from Investing Authority, an investor relations firm where she served as Vice President overseeing retail trading campaigns for a network reaching an audience of more than 20 million retail investors. Over a decade spent building financial media brands from the ground up, she has become a familiar face and voice across major financial media outlets, and is a regular contributor to The New York Times and Forbes. She is widely known as “The Blonde Broker,” has founded her own marketing agency focused on the finance sector, and hosts The Market Runup, a premium financial podcast and newsletter produced under StrataMedia, covering macro trends, markets, and modern wealth creation for a retail investing audience. In her new role as VP, Financial Services, she will lead retail-focused growth strategy for Corgi’s ETF lineup, drawing on ten years of experience building financial brands designed to engage and educate retail investors.
“Corgi is building at a pace I haven’t seen anywhere else in this industry, and that’s rare,” said Gambrel. “I’ve spent the last decade building financial brands designed to engage and educate retail investors. That’s exactly what I’m focused on here: making sure our lineup has real reach and real credibility with the everyday investor, not just with the industry. That’s the biggest lever Corgi has in front of it right now.”
Why This Hire Matters for the Corgi Brand
As Corgi’s fund lineup has scaled rapidly, brand awareness and clear investor communication have become as important to the company’s next phase of growth as product development itself. Ms. Gambrel’s addition strengthens Corgi’s ability to reach retail investors directly, translate complex fund strategies into accessible messaging, and build durable brand equity in a crowded and fast-moving ETF market, with a specific focus on the retail side of Corgi’s ETF lineup, where a decade of brand-building experience positions her to turn product velocity into brand reach.
