Based in New York, Lindsey steps into the role after most recently serving as chief operating officer for the firm’s EQR alpha offering, which he held for more than two years.

Prior to joining Citadel, Lindsey spent almost seven years at UBS, where he worked in roles as an analyst and strategy associate, before later stepping up as a quantitative trader across the EMEA equities central risk book.
Citadel had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
Lindsey’s appointment marks the most recent promotion for Citadel.
In January this year, Brian Pastor stepped up as head of trading, global equities after almost eight years at the firm.
He initially joined Citadel as an equity trader in 2018, and had also previously worked at firms including Latimer Light Capital and PFM LP.
