Marty Gillespie

In the thick of Bay Street’s chaos, Marty Gillespie didn’t just show up—he owned the room. The guy’s got this knack for turning ETF and program trading into an art form, and honestly, most people in the biz could barely keep up. He wasn’t just crunching numbers at Canada’s top capital markets desk; he was rewriting the playbook. Marty’s rise wasn’t your cookie-cutter financial climb, either. He blitzed through the ranks, fueled by this wild mix of curiosity and that classic don’t-sleep-until-it’s-perfect drive. People started whispering about that “secret sauce” he had for pulling off monster index trades—look, if you know, you know. But then—plot twist—Marty gets bitten by the Hollywood bug. Instead of just riding the finance wave, he jumps straight into the world of movies, because why not? He dives in as Executive Producer for “Locked,” which, by the way, ropes in Anthony freakin’ Hopkins and Bill Sarsgaard. That’s not just some side hustle; that’s a full-blown pivot, and Marty attacks it like he’s been in film for decades. The movie itself? Total edge-of-your-seat thriller vibes, but it’s also a flex, showing Marty’s got more than one trick up his sleeve. He’s not just collecting titles—he’s building this crazy-cool legacy that straddles both the trading floor and Hollywood sets. Juggling two high-octane worlds like it’s nothing, Marty’s story isn’t just about ambition, it’s about swagger, guts, and refusing to stay in one lane.
