Ramius LLC, the global alternative investment management business of Cowen Group, has appointed Ken Griebell as a Director, reporting to David Thill, Managing Director and head of worldwide third party distribution and intermediary relationships.
In this newly created role, Griebell will expand Ramius’ marketing and distribution activities for liquid alternative products to new and existing customers and grow Ramius’ presence across distribution channels that focus on mass affluent retail investors.
"We are pleased to welcome Ken to our team," says Thomas W Strauss (pictured), President and Chief Executive Officer of Ramius. "Ken’s extensive relationships and expertise in distributing liquid alternatives will be invaluable as we market our diverse portfolio of alternative investment products to investors, including financial advisors and their clients, many of whom have historically had limited access to these products and strategies. Ramius’ institutional caliber liquid alternative products allow access to an important asset class for the mass affluent retail client and we look forward to building upon Ken’s experience and relationships to offer these products to this clientele."
Griebell brings a wealth of experience, having spent more than 20 years in the financial services industry. He joins Ramius from Equinox Fund Management, where he most recently served as Managing Director of Strategic Accounts. Griebell received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from The University of Connecticut.
