The revolving door at Credit Suisse keeps spinning, as the Swiss bank loses a team of specialists to BNP Paribas.
BNP Paribas is strengthening its equities team in London by hiring Credit Suisse’s event-driven team. Susan Stryker Marinello, an event-driven specialist for the EMEA region at the Swiss bank, and risk arbitrage traders Andy Martin and Simon Scott are joining the French bank.
Before their stint at Credit Suisse, the team of specialists previously worked together at Citi.
The hiring of the unit is an important step following BNP Paribas’ acquisition of Exane in 2021, the sources added. As part of that acquisition, BNP Paribas brought equity trading, research, and derivatives activities in-house after a 17-year partnership with Exane. It said the new hires are part of BNP’s expansion into cash equities following Exane’s return.
Neither Credit Suisse nor BNP Paribas had any comment.
