Tourmaline Partners Re-Hires Jeff Zuckerman as Managing Director

Tourmaline Partners, a leading, institutional-grade trading solutions firm, is pleased to announce the re-hiring of Jeffrey W. Zuckerman as Managing Director.

Jeff originally joined Tourmaline Partners in 2014 after working in both sell- and buy-side trading roles, notably at Deutsche Bank, Blackstone and Ziff Brothers. His broad trading experience across numerous sectors provides him with a deep understanding of market dynamics and an unmatched ability to meet the needs of institutional investors. His decision to rejoin Tourmaline stems from the firm’s unique combination of scale, autonomy, and direct access to critical sell-side resources—qualities that are vital for the growing demands of his institutional clients.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jeff back to the Tourmaline Partners team,” said Aaron Hantman, CEO of Tourmaline Partners. “His experience across both the buy- and sell-side, as well as his client-first approach, make him a perfect fit for our platform. With the firm’s unwavering commitment to offering an independent and agile platform, and Jeff’s previous experience, he will be in an ideal position to continue delivering exceptional results for our clients.”

“I’m excited to return to Tourmaline Partners, where I can offer my clients a unique infrastructure that enables me to focus on their needs while leveraging the firm’s scale and sell-side relevance,” said Jeff Zuckerman. “Tourmaline has always stood out for its commitment to both its clients and its employees, and I’m eager to continue to grow alongside the team while providing my clients with a more tailored and efficient trading experience.”

Jeff earned a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Fordham University.
