Private equity firm Aquiline Capital Partners has hired former E*TRADE Financial chief executive Mitchell Caplan as an executive advisor.
Caplan will assist the financial services-focused firm in evaluating global opportunities in the retail financial services sector, according to a statement from New York-based Aquiline.
Caplan joined E*TRADE in 2000 when the online stock trading giant acquired Telebank, at the time one of the nation’s first pure-play internet banks.
