Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., a unit of Oppenheimer Holdings (NYSE:OPY), is
pleased to announce that Doron Barness has been appointed Head of New
York Institutional Equity Sales Trading, working out of the firm’s New
York headquarters. Doron joined Oppenheimer in May 2013 from Goldman
Sachs as Managing Director and senior sales trader for a number of
significant institutional client accounts.
“We expect Doron’s insight, energy and experience to have a
transformative influence on Oppenheimer’s trading desk in this senior
capacity as we seek to expand our institutional market share,” said John
Hellier, head of Equity Capital Markets. “He is ideally positioned to
continue the evolution of our business in the face of the ever changing
nature of equity trading on Wall Street.”
Oppenheimer is also pleased to announce the promotion of David Laufer
and Anthony Mazzella, who will assume positions as Co-Heads of Cash
Equity Trading. David and Anthony, as well as Doron Barness, will
continue to report to Head of Equity Trading Peter Feinberg.
David joined the Firm’s Cash Equity desk in 2012 as Senior Technology,
Media and Telecommunications (TMT) trader after 12 years at BMO and
Canaccord Genuity. His thoughtful and timely updates on the technology
sector have rapidly made him a thought leader on the trading desk.
Co-Head Anthony Mazzella, an Oppenheimer veteran of 19 years, has spent
much of that time as senior trader in our life sciences and
biotechnology vertical. The firm has come to rely on his deep experience
and knowledge in the sector as well as his leadership ability.
“I'm pleased with the improving business volumes on the trading desk and
look forward to the added experience on our leadership team,” Mr.
Feinberg added.
