Liquidnet, a technology-driven agency execution specialist, has announced two senior appointments to support the expansion of its Listed Derivatives business across Continental Europe and into equity derivatives.
Oliver Deutschmann has joined as head of Equity Derivatives, EMEA and Juan Ferrer Pons as a listed derivatives sales trader based in Madrid.
Deutschmann will lead client acquisition across the region and oversee the deployment of Liquidnet’s Equity Derivatives capabilities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
He will also support the expansion of the Listed Derivatives offering throughout Continental Europe.
Deutschmann brings over 15 years of experience, most recently serving as head of equity derivatives for Credit Suisse.
Pons will focus on supporting members in Continental Europe with tailored liquidity solutions, helping them navigate local markets and optimise execution across the region.
He spent the majority of his career at BBVA, where he held various trading roles across Funds of Hedge Funds (FoHF) and Equity Derivatives.
Most recently, he served as equity derivatives broker at TP ICAP, Liquidnet’s parent company
Deutschmann comments: “Establishing local teams in key European hubs enhances our ability to deliver a more tailored service offering to buy-side firms while deepening access to liquidity in the region.
“The move into Equity Derivatives is a natural next step in the evolution of our Listed Derivatives business, allowing us to bring our technology-led, buy-side focused model into new asset classes and unlock meaningful synergies across our network.â€
