Morgan Stanley and UBS declined to comment.
Greco, who started his career at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in 1999, has worked on a series of capital increases for bailed-out bank Monte dei Paschi (MPS) as well as UniCredit and handled the listing of UniCredit’s online broker Finecobank and asset manager Anima among other deals.
He has a close relationship with UniCredit’s newly-appointed boss Andrea Orcel, who took him under his wing at Bank of America where Orcel ultimately became executive vice chairman of its investment bank.
Orcel later brought Greco over to UBS where he joined the FIG team while Orcel was running UBS’s investment banking unit between 2012 and 2018.
