Nasdaq OMX, the transatlantic exchange group, has re-hired the former head of its international business to run a new platform that will be the first to connect major European trading centres at launch.

Charlotte Crosswell led Nasdaq International from 2004 until last July, when she joined the Pension Corporation, a pensions buyout business run by Duke Street Capital founder Edmund Truell, where she was head of business development. The Pension Corporation was unavailable for comment this morning.
