Kepler Cheuvreux has made two senior US appointments, promoting Chris Carr as deputy head of North America and naming Khaled Yusufi as US hedge fund sales lead.
The two report to Hugo Sarkis, managing director and global head of equities sales, and are based in the firm’s New York office.
Carr has more than 15 years of industry experience, and has been with Kepler Cheuvreux’s European equity sales division since 2018. Prior to this, he was part of the institutional European equity sales team at Macquarie Group, based in Sydney.
Yusufi joins the company from Berenberg Capital Markets, where he handled European and US equity sales for the Tristate area, South Florida and the West Coast. He also spent five years as a UK specialist for equity sales at Peel Hunt, and was vice president of Canaccord Genuity between 2015 and 2016.
Commenting via LinkedIn, Kepler Cheuvreux stated: “Strategic hires and reinforced management presence in New York City aim at consolidating our North American market share gains, foster growth of new talents and expand the footprint of our growing US operations.”
