June 4, 2008
The demise of Bear Stearns has left thousands of employees looking for new jobs, and investment boutiques continue to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up seasoned professionals.
Bulltick Capital Markets, an investment bank specializing in Latin America, said Wednesday it hired Alberto Bernal-Leon as head of fixed-income research, while healthcare investment boutique Leerink Swann hired two former Bear employees, Frederick Wise and Jason Gurda.
Bernal-Leon will be based in Miami and will help Bulltick expand its participation in the fixed income markets. Bernal worked for more than three years at Bear as a managing director of emerging fixed-income research. He was responsible for covering the Colombian, Venezuelan, Argentinean, Ecuadorian and Mexican economies.
Wise, who worked at Bear for 22 years, joined Leerink as a managing director covering the medical supplies and devices industry. Two of Wise’s associates, Danielle Antalffy and Miroslave Minkova, joined Leerink as well.
Gurda worked at Bear for six years and joined Leerink as a director covering the healthcare facilities industry.
