HOUSTON (August 21, 2019) – OTC Global Holdings (OTCGH), leading independent interdealer broker in over-the-counter commodities, today announced the addition of Aaron Easterling as Vice President of Business Development.

“At OTCGH we are focused on growing two things in order to continue succeeding, our people and technology resources,” said Javier Loya, OTCGH’s chairman and chief executive officer. “However, we fully realize that without great people the best technology in the world is useless. We’re excited to welcome a seasoned professional like Aaron to this team and know that he will only help us further enhance the quality of employees at this company as well as that this will lead to even better client service in the end.”
Prior to joining OTCGH, Easterling was the Chief Human Resource Officer and Portfolio Manager for Velocity Merchant Energy LP for more than 10 years. Easterling, who has a bachelor’s degree in business management from Southeastern Oklahoma State University, also previously served in various Talent Acquisition and Account Management roles with HBK Capital Management, Countrywide Financial and Management Alliance Group.
