Congrats on UBS!
Timing makes sense if they want someone next year
The only way they are able to recruit nowadays is saying “don’t worry change is coming”
Where there’s smoke there’s fire 👀
I actually somehow have insider info and can confirm the likely new head of sponsors is pretty capable. UBS will truly be one of the banks of all time after the hire.
I can confirm as well. They actually approached me on Linkedin last week and i've started onboarding already. Just waiting for them to process my SSN and direct deposit info
If you need a search firm to staff your ib leadership it's over before it even began
They’ll probably hired some Swiss dude the board likes
Apparently Joe is going to be head of the IB
who is Joe?
Joe mama!
I bet Marco hired them and will still be there somehow as their bosses
SB this post if you think UBS needs new leadership to replace MV
Search firm will do a dog and pony show to show its looking across the market but ultimately will come back with the stunning and brave recommendation of hiring a trio of bald white guys from barclays/Lehman
All low IQ morons
Real Barclays takeover has never been tried
JF Astier? Saba Nazar? Christian Oberle? My money is on Astier, former Barclays global sponsors head, Lehman alum and currently between seats. Would complete the UBS Barclays/Lehman Avengers perfectly.
I was approached, but they’re all terrible roles where you lack support needed for major deals
where do I apply to be UBS CEO (29 grad)
no you need to run Barclays into the ground first
And Lehman into the ground before that
Marco destroyed the platform and made him and many of his closet friends really rich in the process
Should acquire an elite boutique
They could probably buy like a PWP or something but the last thing UBS needs is more MDs with zero financial incentive to perform. Also their strong LevFin platform means you might not get to keep the Rx bankers
ah yes, they should integrate another bank which will totally fix their problems!
I had a recruiter email me unsolicited on Friday asking me if I was looking for new roles outside UBS, because he had heard there is going to be mass layoffs in Q1 next year.
I told him 1) obviously I’m interested and 2) UBS is constantly laying people off so dont think you have any crazy intel…
Goes without saying UBS should lay off Marco before anyone else at this point. At some point its the leaders fault, not random mid levels.
some groups don’t have enough people to layoff (at least for analyst/aso) because so many left
Open secret that a significant reduction of 50% of US IB staff coming next spring with significant percentage of staff receiving little to no bonus. Senior leadership believes the team could produce just as much at half the size.
