Cowen Inc., a diversified financial services firm, announced this week that it has expanded the responsibilities of Eric M. Rose, who has been with the company since 2017, appointing him as Managing Director and Head of Derivatives Trading.

In this expanded role, Rose will be in charge of the oversight of the ongoing growth of Cowen’s derivatives trading capabilities and platform. He will remain based in New York and will continue to report to Kyle Solomon, Managing Director and Head of Alternative Equity Strategies and Drew Forman, Managing Director and Head of Derivatives.

Commenting on the appointment, Kyle Solomon said in the statement: “Eric is an industry veteran with a deep knowledge of derivatives markets and trading and a dedication to providing our clients a consistently positive experience.”

“Derivatives are viewed increasingly as essential instruments for Risk Management and alpha generation. As part of the full Cowen platform, Eric and his team play an important part in delivering outperformance for our customers,” added Drew Forman in the statement.
