Nasdaq European Markets has selected the former head of European business development at Citadel Securities to join the venue as a senior sales director, The TRADE can reveal.
Matteo Balladori has joined Nasdaq European Markets in its European equities sales team based in London after nearly six years at Citadel Securities. In his new role at Nasdaq, he will be responsible for European and London-based clients.
Prior to joining Citadel Securities, he served at the London Stock Exchange in its secondary market division for almost two years.
“I am thrilled with the arrival of Matteo who brings a wealth of experience and market structure knowledge to further enhance the team,” Julian Butterworth, head of sales at Nasdaq European Markets told The TRADE.
The appointment follows news last week that SIX’s former head of equities Adam Matuszewski was set to leave the exchange group to join Citadel Securities in London, as revealed by The TRADE. Matuszewski assumes the former role held by Balladori.
