Data and analytics provider BMLL has appointed Rob Laible as head of Americas as part of an effort to expand its US and global operations.
The company also has plans to open a New York office.
In his new position, Laible will play a key role in BMLL’s US expansion as a member of the senior leadership team. He reports to Paul Humphrey, CEO of BMLL.
Laible has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, holding a number of senior roles throughout his career. He joins BMLL from Liquidnet, where he was most recently global head of equities.
Humphrey adds: “I am delighted to welcome Rob to the team. Over the last two years, we have significantly grown the business. We have added Tier 1 clients and expanded into the futures market.

Commenting on his appointment, Laible says: “I have been very impressed with BMLL’s fast growth journey, the caliber of the leadership team and the strength of their product. Now more than ever, global institutions need to fully understand how markets behave and improve their analytics capabilities to generate alpha more predictably and deliver improved trading outcomes for clients.
