Chris Jackson has been promoted as Liquidnet’s new global head of equities, continuing his 10-year tenure with the firm.
The move sees London-based Jackson departing from his role as global head of equity strategy and head of equities for EMEA, which he had held since August 2019.
Speaking on the announcement, Liquidnet said: “His [Jackson’s] leadership will be instrumental as we continue to scale up our equities business globally and develop, together with our members, innovative solutions that combine deep liquidity access with intelligent execution.”
He began working for Liquidnet in March 2015 where he assumed the role of head of EQS, EMEA, before moving into equities.
Prior to joining Liquidnet, he held the position of head of EMEA execution sales at Citi from 2009 to 2015.
He has also worked in director positions with a focus on portfolio sales, analytics, and sales trading at SBC Warburg and Merrill Lynch.
Previously, he had a brief stint in 2012 as a member of the High Level Stakeholder Group advising HM Treasury and Government Office for Science on the future of computer-based trading alongside his role at Citi.
Jackson confirmed his position in a social media announcement.
