Liquidnet has hired Timothy Gee as head of western sales team after opening a new office in San Francisco.
Gee has over 30 years of industry experience, and he has acted as managing director and head of distribution at Instinet.
Prior to Instinet, Gee served as head of equity execution for the Americas and global head of portfolio trading at Societe Generale. He has also held positions at UBS and Morgan Stanley.
Based in San Francisco, Gee will be responsible for the western sales region in the US, which includes the Midwest and the West Coast.
Brennan Warble, Liquidnet’s head of Americas, said: “With approximately one-quarter of our US equity trading originating from the Western sales region, 2018 proved to be the perfect time to grow out the team and open a new office in San Francisco.”
Warble added: “We’re happy to be bringing on Gee, who is well-versed in our business and well-regarded in our industry, to help us grow this region further.”
