Following the February completion of a $10.5 million Series A funding round, Eventus established a presence in Europe and began a series of hires across the U.S., Europe and Asia with a plan to double its staff by year end. That goal was already achieved by June, and there are now expectations of adding another 10 professionals this year.
Schroeder said: “Since the earliest days of his impressive career, Jeff has established strong and lasting relationships throughout the financial markets ecosystem, including with banks, as well as brokerage, clearing and proprietary trading firms that can leverage Validus to its full potential. He’s demonstrated a deep understanding of, and enthusiasm for, our technology and our high-touch client service approach. We’re thrilled to bring his talents and experience in this critical period of accelerated growth.”
