BTIG Limited, the institutional trading and prime brokerage service provider, has hired Matthew Cyzer, former partner and head of European Equity Sales at Goldman Sachs, as head of its sales and trading group as the firm leads a push to expand its business in Europe.
Based in London, Cyzer will manage BTIGs equities sales and trading business throughout Europe as the firm expands its presence on the continent.
Cyzer joined Goldman Sachs in 2002 and became a partner in 2004. Most recently, he ran Goldman’s European One Delta Execution Services before retiring in 2011.
Before Goldman, Cyzer was Deutsche Bank’s head of European Equity Sales Trading and worked in equity sales at NatWest Markets.
“We are thrilled that Matthew will be joining our team and know that his extensive experience in the London and European markets will be invaluable to us as we expand our European and international operations, says Steven Starker, co-founder of BTIG. We feel that now is the right time to invest further in our growing European franchise by hiring the best talent and the best professionals to drive our growth and serve our clients.”
