Rabobank International has hired Arnaud Desombre, an independent commodities and futures trader, as head of equity derivatives trading for the Americas in New York. As first reported on DW's Web site Wednesday, he will report to Mark Garbin, head of equity and fund derivatives for the Americas, a group formed earlier this year (DW, 5/12). The arm focuses on asset management, hedge fund, insurance company and pension fund clients and works closely with the London- and Hong Kong-based equity and fund derivatives teams led by Tony Turner.
Desombre previously was managing director and head of U.S. stock options trading for BNP Paribas and SG Corporate & Investment Banking.
