Trump-linked investment firm hires Citi London sales head as international COO
Alternative investment management firm Hudson Bay Capital is expanding outside the US. It has had a London office for a while, but opened a Dubai office in mid-2023 and, as Bloomberg reports, it's in the process of building out a new office in Hong Kong. The firm is hiring international executives, and just brought in one from Citi.

Vincent Vandenbroucke has joined Hudson Bay as its international COO, based in London where the fund employs more than 30 people. He spent the last three and a half years in Citi's prime sales team, where he was head of prime brokerages consulting. Before that, he was a director and seven-year alum of Credit Suisse.
As of late, Hudson Bay has shown particular love to former employees of defunct Hong Kong hedge fund Segantii Capital Management. We previously reported on Mike Cromie, its ex-head of trading technology that joined in London last July, but Bloomberg reports that other senior figures have since joined in both its Dubai office and the new Hong Kong team.
The fund is founded by Sander Gerber, who has some links to US president Donald Trump. He previously donated to his 2020 campaign, and invested in Digital World Acquisition Corp, which merged with a Trump-owned company, TMTG, in 2024. Late last year, the fund authored a report on "restructuring the global trading system" which is thought to have played a role in informing Trump's economic policy, with significant attention paid to tariffs.
