Cowen Strengthens Cross-Asset Team, Adds John Mori as MD

Cowen Inc., that provides sales, trading and prime brokerage services, announced on Thursday that it has added a new member to its Cross-Asset team, with John Mori returning to the unit as Managing Director, Head of Special Assets.
In his new role, Mori will be focused on expanding Cowen’s presence further into illiquid and esoteric assets. He will report to three people, the Co-Heads of Cross-Asset Jay McDermott and Burt Welly as well as the Head of Global Equity and Cross-Asset Sales, Philip Cushman.
When speaking on the new appointment, McDermott said that the Cross-Asset team is pleased to welcome Mori back to the fold and that Mori himself is eager to be apart of the growing team.
“His impressive track record in special assets – especially his proven ability to help clients identify, value and monetize difficult-to-value, financial assets – is a great complement to our existing cross-asset platform and capabilities,” McDermott added.
