Chaker joins the European derivatives exchange from Stifel, where she spent less than a year as an equity sales trader.
In December 2025, Stifel announced that it was closing down its UK equities trading business to shift towards an advisory-led business in Europe.
The news – which was initially revealed by The TRADE in April 2025 – was also confirmed to potentially coincide with job cuts.
Most recently, former Stifel managing director Colin Robb joined investment bank Makor Group in April as a global multi-asset sales trader, based in Dubai.
Similarly, Claire Lynch was appointed as a managing director and head of New York institutional sales at Rosenblatt Securities in March, after a 17-year tenure at Stifel.
Previously in her career, Chaker spent four years at Jefferies as a US equity sales trader, and prior to this, also served at Barclays Investment Bank as a European equity trader from 2016 to 2020.
While at Barclays, she traded European financials and UK mid-cap stocks, and worked across high touch orders and with the program trading and central risk desks.
She also gained early career experience at Natixis and BNP Paribas, both based out of Paris.
