Antonia von Specht has joined Citadel in London as a credit trader after nearly 10 years at Morgan Stanley.
She brings extensive experience working across credit sales to her new role at the hedge fund, and most recently served as a vice president at Morgan Stanley, working across the hedge fund and banks offering.
Having initially joined the sell-side investment bank in 2016 as an analyst, von Specht later became an associate, covering Germany and Nordics-focused credit sales before being promoted to her most recent role.
Previously in her career, she also gained early industry experience at Deutsche Bank.
Von Specht confirmed her new role in an announcement on social media.
Citadel had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
The appointment follows further significant developments for Citadel in recent months. In January 2026, the firm promoted Brian Pastor as head of trading, global equities after an almost eight-year tenure.
Similarly, in December 2025, Virginie Saade, managing director and head of government and regulatory policy, EMEA, at Citadel joined EuroCTP’s advisory committee, to support the development of the upcoming EU equities consolidated tape.
