Part of this build out has entailed the addition of Citi's former favourite equities technologist, Tristan Knight. As we reported in April, Knight fell foul of Citi's Bora Bora restructuring and was let go after eight years at Citi, where he was latterly global head of equities trading, prime and clearing technology based out of London. After a few months tending the weeds, Knight has been handed a new trowel. He joined Nomura this month as global head of equities trading and prime technology. Nomura declined to comment on its loss or Knight's arrival, but the new hire seems fortuitous. At Citi, Knight was credited with being a "very nice guy" who actually "gets things done," and who didn't play politics. Other Citi technologists may be inclined to join him.
