Sell-Side

The new team now comprises of a senior hire from Barclays, as well as several internal hires, with the aim of aligning the firm’s global sales and trading offerings, The TRADE understands.  

Appointment marks a return to the German-based firm, after stints at Morgan Stanley and BNP Paribas CIB.  

New hire has worked across pan-European and US equity markets for more than two decades, and previously served at firms including Rothschild & Co, OpenExchange, Mediobanca, HSBC and UniCredit.  

Traders across asset classes expect electronic channels to account for more than a third of volume next year, a 10% increase from predictions for 2026.

The new offering – known at STG Securities – is set to build on the Group’s existing technology and capital in order to “provide competitive liquidity across exchanges and partnerships”, said the firm.

In April 2025, The TRADE revealed that Stifel that it would be closing its UK-based equities trading business, with potential jobs cuts expected to follow, before the firm confirmed the decision in December 2025. 

The past week was one for the books in terms of people moves, with a new buy-side head of ETF capital markets for EMEA and APAC, as well as senior positions across the sell-side spanning market structure, equities, rates and derivatives. 

New hire joins the bank after 14 years at JP Morgan, where he set up and ran the firm’s continental sovereign, supranational, and agency (SSA) and credit repo trading desk in Paris. 

New hire will also serve in a dual-hatted role as country treasurer for Vietnam; she has previously held senior positions at Maybank and BNP Paribas.
