Barrenjoey, the start-up investment bank that is snapping up talent from bigger rivals in Australia, is casting its net wider to meet its ambitious expansion plans.
The bank has hired Yeeshu Kumar as the founding principal of its fixed income derivatives trading business. Kumar is relocating to Sydney after spending the last three years working in Hong Kong as a director at HSBC, where he was a director in US dollar swaps and treasuries trading. Prior to that, Kumar spent seven years in London with UBS, according to his LinkedIn profile.
This follows the recruitment in March by Barrenjoey of Sean Larcombe as founding partner, head of trading and client execution from Citi in Hong Kong.
