OSL has appointed Jeffrey Howard to head of North America business development and institutional sales.
Based in Mexico City, Howard brings 25 years of experience in prime brokerage and listed derivatives to the role.
The appointment follows OSL’s recent launch of its prime brokerage in the US including electronic and OTC execution, coin borrowing and lending, capital introduction and access into deep pools of digital asset liquidity.
Prior to his new role, Howard was the managing partner and founder of Salveo Capital, a Chicago-based institutional venture capital firm focused on the regulated cannabis industry.
Howard also acted as managing director and global head of prime services at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), where he oversaw the bank’s listed derivatives, over-the-counter swap clearing, foreign exchange prime brokerage, and interest rate prime brokerage businesses.
While at RBS, he served as a board member of the Futures Industry Association (FIA) in the US, and the Futures & Options Association (FOA) in Europe.
Previously, Howard worked at Merrill Lynch for 15 years, where he held a number of senior roles including managing director and head of the bank’s Americas futures and options business, which included the CFTC-regulated Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) unit.
