Mark Turner has joined Liquidnet as managing director, co-head of sales and trading, Americas.
He joins from Instinet where he had worked for 32 years, most recently as MD and co-head of sales and trading, Americas.
New-York based Turner joins the firm as it continues with its global expansion. Last December, Liquidnet made three new hires into its European Execution & Quantitative Services (EQS) team as it looked to enhance its execution offering, as revealed by The TRADE at the time.
EQS advises Liquidnet’s buy-side members on topics including trade analytics, algorithmic strategies, and quantitative products and services.
Oliver Ekers was one of these three hires, also joining from Instinet as an execution trader, covering sales trading across both high-touch and algo trading.
