Liquidnet has named Oliver Deutschmann as EMEA head of equity derivatives.
Based in the UK, Deutschmann has more than 15 years of experience and joins the firm from Credit Suisse, where he was head of equity derivatives flow sales for Germany and Austria. Prior to this, he was director of fixed income derivatives sales at the company and led exchange-traded derivatives fixed income sales for Germany and Austria at UBS.
On his appointment, Deutschmann said, “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.”
Liquidnet recently named Michael Fidance as head of its Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (CEEMEA) equity markets as it seeks to expand its equities presence across the region.
