NYSE:ATS 16 December 2025

March 20, 2026, 12:33 PM EDT. The Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) secured Liz Hocker, the former regional head of capital markets at NYSE Texas, as its new global head of listings. Greg Ferrari, ex-head of North American exchange trading at Nasdaq, joined TXSE as chief operating officer. TXSE, set to launch later this year, previously recruited the Securities and Exchange Commission's former head of trading and markets. Hocker brings two decades of industry experience, including nearly five years managing new listings for the Southwest U.S. at Nasdaq. Ferrari's 15-plus years at Nasdaq involved leadership in transaction services and U.S. options. TXSE's hiring spree signals fierce competition among U.S. regional exchanges.
