Cantor Fitzgerald, the interdealer broker which suffered heavy casualties during the terrorist assault on the World Trade Centre, has named a new board and management team at its electronic trading unit eSpeed.
The new appointees replace a raft of senior eSpeed executives who were lost when the twin towers collapsed last week. Those missing include president Frederick Varacchi, vice chairman Douglas Gardner, and chief financial officer Jeffrey Goldflam. Jonathan Uman, head of corporate development at eSpeed, along with head of product development Glenn Kirwin, head of sales David Bauer and Cantor executive managing director Joseph Shea have also been named among the missing.
Howard Lutnick, chairman and CEO, has taken on the role of president, while Lee Amaitis, currently the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald International in London, will now have the additional position of global chief operating officer of eSpeed and director. Joseph Noviello, formerly senior vice president and chief technology officer has been named executive vice president and chief information officer and director. Stephen Merkel, remains senior vice president, general counsel & secretary and was appointed director. Amy Nauiokas remains senior vice president, head of marketing & communications.
