Eleanor Sharkey, Citadel’s head of business development for international equities since 2022, has left the firm. She played a key role in hiring for the London equities team, though her next move is unclear, according to a report by eFinancial Careers.
Sharkey has been replaced by Freya Maynard, a former Morgan Stanley prime brokerage associate who joined Citadel in 2023.
The departure comes amid broader turnover in Citadel’s global equities business, including the exit of Laura Sterner and other senior personnel last year. Despite these changes, Citadel continues to hire actively, adding five new external recruits to its US fundamental equities team and appointing Sapna Vir as head of credit business development.
