Andrew Westoby has joined Kepler Cheuvreux’s KCx platform as a high touch sales trader.
Westoby will be based out of London in his new role, and is set to support the firm’s continual development of its execution strategy.
Speaking to The TRADE on the appointment, Chris McConville, global head of execution services and trading at Kepler Cheuvreux, said: “Based in our London office, [Westoby] will play a key role in supporting our international clients investing into the US and Canada, and in accelerating growth in the region.”
Westoby brings more than 25 years of front office experience to his new role, spanning institutional execution across pan-European and US equity markets.
Most recently, he had been working as a subject matter expert for European equities, providing support on capital raising and global hedge fund strategies.
Prior to this, he spent more than two years at Rothschild & Co (previously Redburn Atlantic) as an equity sales trader, specialising in high and low touch orders from UK and Swiss clients trading US equities.
While at the firm, he also led the transition and integration of functions into the newly merged Redburn Atlantic equities brokerage business following the firm’s acquisition by Rothschild in 2023.
Previously in his career, he has also held senior positions at firms including OpenExchange, Mediobanca, HSBC and UniCredit.
Westoby’s appointment follows further high touch sales trading hires into the KCx team in recent months. In February 2026, Vito Scarola joined the firm in a similar role, based out of New York, while similarly, Sam Dawson was also hired as a high touch sales trader for Kepler Cheuvreux’s UK hedge funds clients.
