Kyle Lutnick

American financial-services executive and executive vice chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald L.P.

History and structure

Kyle Lutnick worked at Knotel and Newmark, following an earlier real-estate and business-development career according to the firm. He is an adult son of Howard Lutnick.

Current documented status

The February 2025 Cantor succession announcement named him executive vice chairman. The May 2025 announcement identified him as a beneficiary of the trusts related to Howard Lutnick’s ownership transfer; Brandon was separately named controlling trustee.

Corporate roles and governance

Cantor Fitzgerald identified Kyle S. Lutnick as executive vice chairman of its holding company after Howard Lutnick resigned his leadership positions following Senate confirmation as commerce secretary in February 2025. The operating broker-dealer Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. has a separate leadership structure from the broader Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. holding company.

A 2026 securities filing also describes Kyle Lutnick as president of CF Group Management, the general partner of Cantor, and a chief strategy officer and director at Newmark. Cantor's May 2025 ownership announcement described him as a beneficiary of the trusts involved in the planned family transfer, while explicitly naming his brother Brandon as the controlling trustee. The two titles should not be conflated.
