Crédit Suisse has confirmed that a number of appointments have been made at its prime services team in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
James Scully will join as managing director, head of prime product sales, APAC, Robert Cheeseman will serve as head of prime derivatives services, APAC and Kieran Murphy has been appointed director, head of prime consulting, APAC.
Scully brings 22 years of experience in the financial services industry, including 10 years in the prime business.
Most recently, he served at BNP Paribas, where he started out as head of securities lending and synthetic sales trading in Asia in 2012.
Cheeseman brings more than 15 years of experience in listed derivatives sales and trading in APAC. Before working at Morgan Stanley, he spent almost ten years at Goldman Sachs in listed derivatives sales trading in Hong Kong and London. He will begin his new role at the end of May.
Both Scully and Cheeseman will report to Ken Hon, head of prime products and trading, APAC.
Murphy joins from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where his primary responsibility was to provide detailed consulting to established and emerging hedge funds in the region.
Starting in July, Murphy will report to both Simon Chow, who leads the prime brokerage sales function, and Raza Jafree, who heads the prime services for private banking sales team in APAC.
In a statement, Crédit Suisse said: “We are pleased to announce several key appointments in Prime Services in APAC to further strengthen and enhance our product capabilities and the delivery of solutions to our clients.”
Crédit Suisse also announced two new hires last week with Advanced Execution Services (AES) in Australia. The new hires, Eugene Budovsky and Melissa Cooper, in the AES team form part of its continued effort to strengthen our electronic trading franchise in Asia Pacific, which is rated highly in the market.
