Type of moral leadership UBS is currently under
Juniors bonuses aren’t the only thing getting f-ed this year, their wives might get f-ed too
Hide your kids, hide your wife
In your Connecticut mansion
This is actually a good thing, you want a CEO who has that dawg in them.
Marco better hide his wife!
Sounds like that guy's wife had a dawg in her
You can say UBS can't close deals, but they certainly know how to close.
The only person capable of closing the deal at UBS, is no longer even within the IB
Great head of hair, that’s who you want leading the bank
As long as it’s not a bald loser we are good
Don't insult the last 5 Goldman Sachs CEOs like that!
You always hear UBS is struggling to win mandates in the U.S. Turns out they’ve just been focusing on a different kind of relationship building. UBS finally figured out how to generate deal flow. Unfortunately it’s all internal.
Honestly might be the first instance of someone at UBS actually generating repeat “client” engagement.
At a bank where nothing seems to close, this guy said fine I’ll handle it myself. No approvals, no committees, no risk. Just pure execution.
Imagine the town hall:
“We take culture very seriously.”
“We also ask that employees refrain from hostile takeovers of each other’s households.”
HR probably scrambling to figure out if this falls under compliance or just… alpha generation.
Honestly kind of refreshing. First senior leader in years to show any ability to actually finish something.
At least one thing is consistent across the platform:
Deals may not be closing, but something definitely is.
This is why I love this website
Dudes a baller. Dipped his pen in company ink and still likely to become CEO
Working at UBS, I thought the worst that could happen is your bonus gets fucked…
For all the young humble people on this thread who want to have a very successful future career in this industry:
Try not to judge someone until you walked a mile in their shoes
✌🏼
Hi Robert
Ok tell us the story. Whose wife did you sleep with?
This happened 16 years ago?
Maybe this kind of behavior is what UBS needs🤣
