Cowen has added two senior hires to its global capital introduction team, bringing the total number of professionals to eight.
The financial services firm is expanding its prime brokerage and outsourced trading services and coverage, with additional hires planned for the next two years.
Hong Kong’s Amy Cheung — the first member of the team from the APAC region — is joining after three years in business development and investor relations at Bright Stream Capital Management, a hedge fund. From 2012 to 2018, Cheung was sales and relationship manager for hedge funds and family offices at Bloomberg. Prior to that, she has held roles in consulting and law.
Daniel McGlinn is joining Cowen’s San Francisco office, after spending six years at PNC Asset Management in the alternative strategies team. Both Cheung and McGlinn will join Cowen as vice president.
Cowen’s managing director and head of capital introduction Brett Yarkon says: “Amy and Daniel both have extensive buy-side experience and are strong additions to our growing team. Having a local presence in Hong Kong to capitalise on further opportunities in Asia, as well as team members on the ground across the US and in London, is a significant benefit for our team as we continue to extend our global coverage and take our Cap Intro business to the next level.
“We have grown our team in response to client demand and are now ideally positioned for further expansion across the US, Europe and Asia.”
