Ross Levin has joined Cowen Group to build a brand new securities finance and equity trading and clearing business.
Levin has taken on the role of director of global securities finance. He previously worked at New York-based technology firm Pleeco, where he was in charge of business and product development.
He has more than 20 years of experience, having held multiple positions at Itau, RBS, ABN AMRO and ING, including, head of equities IT, head of product development, and, most recently, head of business architecture for the Itau prime services division.
Levin joins Matt Baldassano at Cowen, who arrived last year from Jefferies as head of securities finance.
Cowen Group onboarded the first customers to its newly-launched international prime brokerage business in December.
The platform, based in London, offers securities lending and margin financing facilities, as well as custody and trade execution services on both a cash and swaps basis.
