It is understood BoA staff were notified of the hire on Monday.
Rozman spent 11 years at Credit Suisse, and was most recently co-head of its Australian natural resources, energy and infrastructure team.
His deals at Credit Suisse included advising Rio Tinto on its $5.5 billion Australian metallurgical coal assets sales, helping Barrick Gold offload its stake in Super Pit-owner Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines and raising equity for Queensland coal miner Coronado Global Resources.
My journalist-as-guinea-pig experiment is taking a disturbing turn.
A Swedish chemist is on the phone, talking about flame retardants, chemicals added for safety to just about any product that can burn. Found in mattresses, carpets, the plastic casing of televisions, electronic circuit boards, and automobiles, flame retardants save hundreds of lives a year in the United States alone. These, however, are where they should not be: inside my body.
Åke Bergman of Stockholm University tells me he has received the results of a chemical analysis of my blood, which measured levels of flame-retarding compounds called polybrominated diphenyl ethers. In mice and rats, high doses of PBDEs interfere with thyroid function, cause reproductive and neurological problems, and hamper neurological development. Little is known about their impact on human health.
