Hired to augment Equity Sales efforts as CRT grew. I found that the best opportunities to add value for my institutional clients (certainly the most exciting) surrounded "events" and transitions up/down the Capital Structure.As a "single point of coverage" salesman I generated and executed orders, on an agency basis in a multitude of markets including: US.
