Citadel Securities tapped Jim Esposito, who was one of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s most senior executives, as its new president in a coup for the rapidly expanding market-making firm.

Esposito becomes president in a new role at the company starting in September, according to a spokesperson. He’ll be based in Miami and report directly to Chief Executive Officer Peng Zhao. Esposito will lead client and partner relationships as the firm expands across the globe.
