Clear street, a cloud-native financial technology firm, has boosted its team, promoting several senior leaders from within.
The restructure follows the firm’s plans to expand across new geographies and into emerging asset classes.
Megan Cruse, who spent nearly a decade at Citadel and has been working with Clear Street since late 2025, has been promoted to chief operating officer, incorporating oversight into corporate development.
Cruse held several senior leadership roles during her time at Citadel and also served as deputy chief operating officer of Global Credit, helping scale the investment team and expand the business into new asset classes.
Prior to that, she held operating and investor relations roles at Monroe Capital and Altum Capital.
Andy Volz, Clear Street’s chief commercial officer, and John DiBacco, global head of markets, have been promoted to co-presidents of the firm.
As co-president, Volz has expanded oversight of the prime brokerage and active trading businesses.
DiBacco’s role as co-president is in addition to his acting role as global head of markets.
Additionally, Jon Daplyn, architect of Clear Street’s infrastructure and technology stack, is moving to the role of chief technology officer.
Uri Cohen, executive chairman and CEO of Clear Street, says: “We have incredible leaders here and this new organisational structure lets us move faster and more efficiently, to scale with intention as we deliver access to every asset in every market.
“These changes enable a steadfast commitment to sharper focus, stronger relationships, and an enhanced client experience.â€
Clear Street has bolstered its headcount this year, accumulating a total of 830 employees, compared with 773 at the start of 2026.
