Credit Suisse has bolstered its European, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) prime finance organisation with the appointments of Lee Burrows, James Buckland, Gerry Murtagh, and Keith Levy, sources have confirmed.
Burrows will re-join Credit Suisse as managing director and head of EMEA global inventory optimisation (GIO), effective in April.
In his new role, Burrows will report locally to Jeff Jennings and functionality to Rob Bernstone. He will also work closely with Grant Rippetoe.
Prior to Credit Suisse, he was head of delta one at Nomura from 2011 to 2013. Before this, he spent 13 years at Credit Suisse where he was European head of global arbitrage strategies within the SMG group.
Meanwhile, Buckland will join Credit Suisse in EMEA as managing director and he will report to Burrows.
Most recently, Buckland served at UBS where he spent the last 23 years in various roles including co-head of equity finance Europe, global head of stock loan, and global head of delta one.
Buckland will work closely with Burrows to build out Credit Suisse’s GIO framework in Europe partnering closely with the Americas GIO team, a source said.
Murtagh has been appointed head of EMEA flow financing, including securities lending, alongside his current role as head of prime services for Dublin Branch.
Based in Dublin, Murtagh will drive Credit Suisse’s single stock flow financing strategy across the equity floor in coordination with Credit Suisse’s US colleagues.
He will partner closely with the equity sales and sales trading teams, the electronic
products team and the equity flow derivatives team.
Levy has been appointed as head of EMEA prime finance index and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) while continuing to be responsible for the index/sector, custom baskets and ETF products.
In this role, he will focus on trading and risk management, balance sheet/capital optimisation and trading technology for this product line.
