Clear Street, a cloud-native financial technology firm on a mission to modernise the brokerage ecosystem, announced key leadership hires as part of its continued expansion in the UK.

These senior hires reflect the Company’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the UK and Europe.  Clear Street welcomes the following leaders to its UK team:

The UK team has now grown to more than 40 professionals, actively hiring across business areas including equities execution, equity finance and product and systems engineering.

Ed Tilly, CEO of Clear Street, commented, “Establishing a strong presence in the UK is a natural step in our global growth and the addition of these leaders is another major step as we activate our mission.  Our success in the US illustrates that our client-centric approach sets us apart, and we remain eager to listen to our clients and expand where they want to see us grow.  Clear Street continues to attract top tier talent, ensuring our clients are in the best hands every step of the way.”

Jacinda Fahey, CEO of Clear Street UK and Europe, commented, “We are building a sustainable business in the UK with scalable infrastructure to ensure we continue delivering innovative solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.  These leadership appointments reflect our dedication to hiring top-tier talent and driving long-term success.”
