BTIG, a global financial services firm headquartered in California specializing in institutional trading, investment banking, research and related brokerage services, announced on Tuesday that it has added emerging market debt sales and trading specialist Ben Patch to its Fixed Income Credit division, as Managing Director.

Ben will be focused on emerging market debt sales and trading at the branch, and will report to Michael Carley, Sr. and Darren Haines, Managing Directors and Co-Heads of BTIG Fixed Income Credit.

Ben brings more than 25-year experience to BTIG. He joins the firm from Deutsche Bank Securities, where he has been for 6 years, and served as Director within Emerging Market Fixed Income Sales.
