Sept 19 (Reuters) - Citigroup ( C/PN ) has hired Adam

Inzirillo from Cboe Global Markets ( CBOE ) to lead its cash and

futures execution platform within the bank's equities division,

according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

In his new role, Inzirillo will oversee Citi's electronic

execution platform, focusing on trading algorithms and direct

market access offerings, the person said.

He will join in October as global head of the execution

platform for the equities business and report to Sebastien

Mailleux, global co-head of prime services, the person added.

Inzirillo had joined Cboe in 2019 as head of U.S. equities

and was promoted to global head of data and access solutions in

2023 during a senior leadership reshuffle.

Citi's equity markets revenue rose 6% to $1.6 billion in

the second quarter from a year earlier, boosted by momentum in

its prime services business, which caters to hedge funds.

The prime business posted record balances in the second

quarter, up nearly 27% from a year earlier.

Bloomberg News reported the move earlier on Friday.
