William Duff Gordon, research director at Markit Securities Finance, has resigned from his position.

His departure follows that of Linda Benzi, who sources confirmed is moving to US-based financial services company E*Trade Financial Corporation.

Gordon is still in his position and will leave the industry when he departs.

The research director, who regularly speaks at securities finance events and writes for industry publications, joined Markit Securities Finance in early 2000, when it was known as Data Explorers.

Markit bought Data Explorers in 2012, rebranding the data company as Markit Securities Finance.

Most notably, former Morgan Stanley employee Edward Marhefka joined Markit Securities Finance as managing director and co-head of the business in April 2013.

Benzi, formerly director of sales and relationship management at Markit Securities Finance, is joining E*Trade.

She worked at Goldman Sachs and EquiLend before she joining Data Explorers from Citi in 2009.

Anthony Barros, previously a managing director at RCap Securities, is also joining E*Trade, a provider of online trading services. He starts today, according to sources.
