Wall Street Access, a New York asset management and institutional research and execution firm, said Wednesday that it had hired Jay Ryan to be a vice president of institutional sales.
Mr. Ryan is to oversee the company's energy research sales effort. He was an institutional sales principal at Williams Capital Group and, previously, a senior vice president of equity sales at Credit Lyonnais Securities USA.
The hiring expands Wall Street Access' institutional sales team and will support its energy research initiatives. The company also recently hired the veteran analyst Chris Ellinghaus to give clients coverage of the energy sector.
Wall Street Access' institutional services division provides research and analysis on merger transactions involving publicly traded companies with $500 million or more.
