Megan Cruse, who spent nearly a decade at Citadel and who has been working with Clear Street since late 2025, has been promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer, which includes oversight of corporate development, strategy, facilities, communications and investor relations. Andy Volz, Clear Street’s Chief Commercial Officer, and John DiBacco, Global Head of Markets, have been promoted to Co-Presidents of the firm. Jon Daplyn, architect of Clear Street’s bespoke infrastructure and technology stack, is moving to the role of Chief Technology Officer.
Uri Cohen, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “We have incredible leaders here and this new organizational 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.’’
Michael Stover, Chief People and Performance Officer, commented “We are platforming proven leaders in the roles where they create the most value, with clear accountability across revenue, technology, operations and markets. The strength of this firm lies in the talent behind it, and we will continue to promote exceptional talent where we see it to support our long-term ambitions. Also, since joining Clear Street earlier this year, I am consistently impressed with the inbound talent we have hired as we keep pace with our growth.”
