Online trading platform Webull has hired a highly experienced financial services executive as chief strategy officer and head of derivatives.
Arianne Adams joins the firm from Cboe Global Markets Inc., where she was senior vice president and head of derivatives and global client services, and also helped expand the client base for Cboe’s proprietary products worldwide.
At Webull Financial she will report to CEO Anthony Denier.
"As a seasoned financial markets and market structure professional with a robust understanding of exchange management and broker-dealer execution, Arianne brings a unique skillset to the Webull team," said Denier. "Webull has quickly become a leading retail investing platform and being able to hire an industry leader like Arianne is proof of how far we have come."
Over decades in the financial services industry, Adams has held leadership positions at Goldman Sachs, Capstone Investment Advisors and Merrill Lynch, as well as serving on industry committees including the Listed Options Market Structure Committee, CFTC Global Market Structure Subcommittee and STA Options Committee.
"I am thrilled to be joining an organization with a vision that closely aligns with my values of educating investors and providing them with advanced trading tools to execute their investment strategies," said Adams. "I am excited to help Webull continue to expand access globally to meet growing customer demand."
