Eqonex Expands Senior Team with the Appointment of Nick Cogswell

Nasdaq-listed digital asset services firm, Eqonex announced the expansion of its team yesterday with the appointment of Nick Cogswell, the former CEO and Managing Director of 401 Capital, as the company’s Head of Asset Management Sales in London.

Eqonex noted that Cogswell will play an important role in driving the company’s growth across its asset management product suite. Cogswell has almost two decades of experience in the global financial services sector.

In his broad career, Cogswell worked with prominent names in the industry, including Jefferies and Santander Global Corporate Banking. During his time at Jefferies, he served as the Head of Equity Structured Product Sales EMEA.

"I am thrilled to join EQONEX and look forward to leveraging my experience in traditional finance to harness the growing opportunities in the digital asset space. EQONEX is reputable in the marketplace for its highly experienced team, so I'm excited to join them in delivering EQONEX's ambitious product roadmap across structured and investment products and also driving growth for Bletchley Park, the fund of crypto hedge funds,” Cogswell said about his appointment.

The recent announcement from Eqonex came almost two months after the company selected Paul Ewing as its Chief Operating Officer.

Franklin Heng

In addition to the selection of Cogswell, Eqonex announced the appointment of Franklin Heng as the company’s Head of Asset Management Asia. Heng will be based in Hong Kong and joins the company from Springboard Capital.

"With regulation now finally becoming a reality, EQONEX's commitment to compliance and security, as well as its status as a NASDAQ-listed company, puts it in an ideal position to further differentiate itself from the competition. I am excited to join the team during such an anticipated period of business growth and work with them to define best-in-class digital asset investment products for EQONEX's clients,” Heng commented.
