Meet Our Leadership Team

The BTIG Leadership team came together through the 2005 merger of Bass Trading and Baypoint Trading, with one goal in mind—to restore high touch service and human intelligence to an industry that had become increasingly automated, and as a result highly volatile and increasingly difficult for investors to navigate successfully.

Bringing together some of the best and brightest in the industry, we have built a high performing global network of expert sales traders and investment professionals, along with a comprehensive suite of global trading and fund services, to help institutional investors grow their assets.

Drawing on years of industry experience and deep relationships in the investor community, we ensure clients have unparalleled access to natural liquidity in world markets, market intelligence, seamlessly executed trades, equity derivatives, and value added services such as Capital Introduction, Convertibles, Securities Lending and Commission Management capabilities.

The collaborative environment at BTIG is reinforced by our hands-on approach to management. Leading the organization straight from the trading desk, we have created a dynamic trading atmosphere that consistently delivers superior client service.
