Rusis will join Markit’s New York office and share responsibility for the firm’s data and analytics products with Kevin Gould, executive vice president and a founder of Markit.

Rusis worked at Morgan Stanley for 17 years, most recently as managing director and head of US credit trading and global head of securitised and structured credit trading. He was a member of the Morgan Stanley European management committee as well as the firm’s fixed income operating committee.
