GLMX has appointed industry veterans James Day and Jay Epstein to its newly created client relationship management team.
As the firm expands its global footprint and product offerings, development of a dedicated client relationship management function is critical to achieve success at scale, it says.
Both new hires will act as advocates for key existing clients and will work closely with internal teams. They will report to Salvador Giglio, president and chief revenue officer.
Based in London, Day brings more than 30 years of financial services experience to his new position.
He recently worked for State Street Bank & Trust where he acted as head of securities finance product and strategy, and UK head of securities finance.
Prior to that, he spent almost six years at BNY, where he was most recently head of securities finance EMEA.
Day also held roles as head of stock loan trading EMEA and global head of securities lending sales at UBS.
During his 12-year tenure with Barclays, Day held the positions of head of securities finance EMEA, and head of electronic equity execution product EMEA at Barclays.
Based in New York, Epstein joins the technology solutions provider for repo, securities lending and money markets from the Bank of Montreal.
Here, he was most recently managing director and senior relationship manager (SRM), where he helped to develop a firm-wide client strategy and managed a team of SRMs.
Prior to this he held several senior roles at global sell-side institutions. He was head of Americas client strategy for equities at Nomura Securities, the chief operating officer for the Prime Finance business at Citi, and chief operating officer for Lehman’s Global Equity sales division.
Commenting on the appointments, Giglio says: “Jay and James each have more than 20 years of client experience and are exceptionally qualified to maintain the firm’s high standards delivering innovative solutions to clients across all their front end trading needs.”
