LONDON, Sept. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BTIG Limited, the European affiliate of BTIG, LLC, announced today the appointment of Christopher Rollins as its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Rollins assumes leadership of the London-based broker-dealer, following a successful role as a Managing Director, International Equities, and Head of U.S. Execution Services at BTIG, LLC in New York.

He will be tasked with expanding BTIG's existing suite of multi-asset class products, and accelerating the growth of its geographical footprint across Europe. Prior to BTIG, Mr. Rollins spent more than 15 years at Goldman Sachs in several key leadership roles including Managing Director and Co-Head of European Execution Services in London. Previously, he spent over a decade in the firm's New York office, where he was a Managing Director in Institutional Equities, focused on executing cash equities and derivatives. Mr. Rollins earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard University.

He understands how we can be impactful and translates a vision into tangible results for clients," said Scott Kovalik, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BTIG.
