Brian Bejile is the Chief Executive Officer of Octaura, where he brings two decades of senior trading positions and leadership experience to the role. Prior to founding Octaura, Brian was most recently at Citi as Managing Director and Global Head of CLO Issuer Management, a combined offering across syndicated loan trading, financing and securitization. Before that, he ran the Loan Portfolio Trading and Global CLO trading desks. He was formally recognized for having the number-one CLO trading desk by volume for multiple years in a row.

Driven by his passion for simplifying and evolving markets, Brian sought the backing of Citi to bring his idea of an independent execution, data and analytics platform for fixed income markets to life.

Throughout his career, Brian has observed that diversity in all its facets has been a key ingredient to all his successful innovations. He is a champion for the development, attraction, and retention of Black and other underrepresented groups in the financial services industry, having led multiple key diversity initiatives while at Citi.
