“We are excited to move our growing team into new offices at Bedford House in the Linen Quarter of Belfast,” said Michael Page, Chief Operating Officer of Cowen Execution Services Limited and Cowen International Limited. “Over the past 10 years, Belfast has established itself as a growing center for technology and financial service businesses in Europe. Cowen’s investment into new office space reflects not only our commitment to Belfast, but our confidence in its high-quality talent base.”
Mr. Page continued, “Over the last four years Cowen has grown its operational presence in Belfast significantly, starting with one business line to now supporting over six. This is a great achievement for Cowen and the Belfast Operations team, and further testament to the talent available. As we look to accelerate our growth in Belfast, we will benefit from Cowen’s unique entrepreneurial culture, which boasts the support and stability of a larger financial services firm, with the opportunities and access to leadership of a growth company.”
Cowen’s office is now located on the first floor of Bedford House. Since it was opened, Cowen’s Belfast office has grown from 10 employees in 2013 to over 60 today. The team is led by Ian Wasson, Eamon O’Neill and Margaret Dolan.
John Holmes, Cowen’s Chief Operating Officer, added, “2019 marks Cowen’s seventh year with a presence in Belfast. It has been remarkable to see the steady, reliable growth of our operations not only in Belfast, but across Europe. Cowen is committed to continuing to strengthen its presence in the pan-European region, as seen through recent acquisitions and hires, and our Belfast team will be essential to support this growth. We look forward to strengthening our capabilities in this competitive space and expanding our reach on a global basis.”
