London CEO of broker Convergex leaves after takeover

Departure at the end of last year came just weeks before sweeping new European Union trading rules went live

London CEO of broker Convergex leaves after takeover

The chief executive of the London-based brokerage acquired by Cowen Group as part of its purchase of New York-headquartered Convergex Group has left just months after the deal completed.

Philip Gough, who had been CEO of Convergex's London-based brokerage since January 2015, left the group towards the end of 2017, according to Companies House filings, ending another chapter in his more than 30 years in capital markets.
