Weeden Prime Services has hired Will Greco as head of capital introductions.
The team’s expansion is in response to a period of strong growth resulting from the recent tumult in the brokerage industry caused by J.P. Morgan’s decision to exit the correspondent clearing business, according to Weeden Prime.
Greco brings more than 15 years of experience in the prime brokerage and capital introduction space.
Most recently, he was an a central player in the capital introductions team at Jefferies and also served in similar roles at Lazard Capital Markets, Bank of America and BNP Paribas.
“Capital introduction offers most prime brokers an opportunity to distinguish their offering, however, most prime brokers have an impossible task of delivering truly customised service to their clients,” said Greco.
"I am excited to be a part of a growing business that is in a great position to offer clients a dedicated platform to help grow their businesses.”
