Agency broker Olivetree Group has appointed Chris Pilder as the new CEO of its U.S. business, alongside two other new hires for the U.S. business, officials say.
Pilder has more than 27 years of experience in the financial services industry and comes to Olivetree from a decade at CRT Capital Group, where he most recently served as co-head of equities, officials say. He also spent more than 11 years at Salomon Brothers.
In his new role, Pilder will be responsible for “expanding and building upon Olivetree’s footprint in the region,” according to a company statement. Pilder’s appointment and other recent hirings highlight “the substantial growth of Olivetree’s U.S. business over the last two years,” from “growth of over 100 percent in 2013 and over 300 percent in 2014,” the statement says.
Alongside Pilder, Olivetree has appointed Laura Kaster to serve as the new U.S. financials sector strategist, and David O’Shea to serve in the hybrid role of execution/sales trader, officials say.
Kaster joins Olivetree from Bloomberg First Word, where she was a senior financial analyst and strategist, officials say. O’Shea joins Olivetree from Sterne Agee & Leach, where he was a managing director and head trader.
“I am very proud to welcome Chris to the Olivetree team,” says Daryn Kutner, Olivetree Group CEO and founder, in a statement. “The U.S. is a key and rapidly expanding market for Olivetree.”
