Liquidnet has appointed Amanda Lee Volk as trade coverage/execution consultant for its New York desk.
As part of the role, Volk will focus on providing primary account coverage for Liquidnet ATS members, which includes institutional, hedge, quant, multi-strategy and index funds.
Volk brings 18 years’ experience to the role from Nomura, with particular expertise in the ATS block and algo trading space.
“Her extensive knowledge and proven track record will enhance Liquidnet’s service offerings, supporting the firm’s commitment to delivering best-in-class service, products, and technology,” said Liquidnet in a statement.
In addition, Volk will provide daily coverage of Liquidnet’s algo offerings and block trading capabilities, supporting institutional asset managers with their trading and liquidity needs.
Her appointment follows that of Jeffrey Crane, who was named head of international for the Americas, as part of the firm’s continued investment in its cross-border business.
