In Drew's place, the bank named Matt Zames, a trader by background who is well versed in risky financial bets. He was at one time employed at Long-Term Capital Management, whose 1998 collapse nearly caused a global crisis. The biggest U.S. bank by assets said Drew, its New York-based CIO and one of its highest-paid executives, will retire. Mike Cavanagh, CEO of the Treasury & Securities Services (TSS) group, will lead a team of executives overseeing its response to the recent losses. The bank's statement made no mention of two of Drew's subordinates who were involved with the costly trades -- London-based Achilles Macris and Javier Martin-Artajo -- who sources had said were expected to leave. Neither could be reached for comment. More: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/14/i... If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
