The new hire was formerly a managing director at Stifel and joins the firm as it continues to build out its fixed income sales business, The TRADE can reveal.
Individual joins the firm’s fixed income business as the firm continues to build out its trading capabilities; previously served in senior roles at Stifel and T. Rowe Price.
New hire previously spent less than a year at Stifel; it was confirmed in December 2025 that Stifel was shuttering its UK equities trading business.
New hire will be based out of Dubai, and has also previously served in trading-related and senior positions at firms including Mirabaud Group, HSBC and Natixis.
New hire spent 17 years at Stifel working across various institutional equity sales-based roles, and also previously worked at Bear Stearns.
In April 2025, The TRADE revealed that Stifel that it would be closing its UK-based equities trading business, with potential jobs cuts expected to follow, before the firm confirmed the decision in December 2025.
New hire brings more than 30 years of trading experience to the new role, and is set to support the expansion of Kepler Cheuvreux’s execution strategy.
The move is expected to coincide with potential job cuts as the firm looks to transition to a more advisory-led business in Europe, as revealed by The TRADE in April 2025.
The past week has seen a swathe of moves, including a head of trading departure and a head of market structure appointment, as well as hires across high-touch sales trading, FX and equity sales.
The new appointment builds on other recent high and low-touch US and EMEA equities trading hires for Stifel so far in 2025, The TRADE understands.
