Blake has more than 25 years of experience, including previous roles at BTG Pactual.
Liquidnet aims to expand its services in Latin America through new liquidity sources within the region.
Liquidnet appointed Eric Blake as Head of Latin
America to enhance its presence in the region. Blake's extensive experience across domestic and international capital markets makes him an ideal
candidate to lead this effort.
Industry Veteran
With over 25 years of industry expertise, the company described Blake as having a combination of skills in electronic trading and institutional client
relationships. Previously, he played an important role at BTG
Pactual, where he reportedly developed Brazil's first electronic block trading
system, connecting local and foreign institutional clients.

His work at Investment Technology Group (ITG) added to
his leadership in Latin American markets, with a focus on global portfolio
trading. According to the company, these experiences are expected to strengthen
Liquidnet's ability to unlock new sources of liquidity for asset managers in
the region.
Speaking about the appointment, Liquidnet’s Head of
Equities Sales and Trading for the Americas, Alan Polo, said: “Eric’s addition
to our team marks a significant step in advancing our capabilities in Latin
America. His experience in the region and his proven track record of building
institutional client relationships and product management implementation across
sales and trading, marketing, and financial services technology position us well
to drive our growth in this critical market.”
Eyeing Opportunities in Latin America
By expanding into Latin America, Liquidnet aims to tap
into new liquidity sources and strengthen its technology-driven agency
execution services for local and international clients. Liquidnet recently made other notable appointments. In August, the company appointed a new executive, Balraj Briah, to lead the multi-asset
services division.
According to a report by Finance Magnates, Briah has
more than twenty-five years of experience in trading desks of major financial
institutions worldwide. He has reportedly worked as a trader for BNY Mellon,
Nomura, and Citi, among others.
Elsewhere, Liquidnet named Jeffrey Crane as Head of
International in the Americas. Crane is an industry veteran with more
than 20 years of experience in institutional equity trading. He joined the firm
from SageTrader, where he served as managing director and Head of Sales.
