David Mudie will lead the new London-based operation of US independent futures brokerage and clearing firm R.J. O'Brien & Associates, which was established earlier this year, as CEO.
Mundie has held multiple prime brokerage roles throughout his career. Between 2009 and 2010, he worked as head of fixed income prime brokerage at MF Global UK in London, and between 2006 and 2009, he was senior vice president in the derivatives product group on the prime brokerage side at Newedge in New York.
Before that, Mudie ran European prime brokerage for Refco Overseas in London.
Mudie most recently served as European head of institutional and retail sales for marketing and execution at Penson Financial Services in London.
Joseph Murphy, executive vice president and president of the Americas at R.J. O'Brien, said: "Mudie has excellent market experience, including his recent track record of taking a US-based company and substantially growing its brand in the UK and Europe. His vast experience, in-depth knowledge of futures, and great respect for the R.J. O'Brien brand and expertise make him ideally suited to lead our efforts, staff and growth in Europe."
Mudie added: "R.J. O'Brien has an incredible brand in the US that the company has cultivated for nearly a century. I'm looking forward to extending that premium brand in the UK and throughout Europe with the same breadth of product, expertise and service that has earned the company such respect among clients and peers in the US. We will focus on the core products and middle market niche that has fueled R.J. O'Brien’s success in the US."
