Ramez Attieh, a v.p. covering Middle Eastern fixed income derivatives marketing at Merrill Lynch in London, has quit the firm. Alex Walker, spokeswoman at Merrill, confirmed his departure, but was unable to comment on whom he reported to. Attieh could not be reached for comment.
Market buzz connects Attieh with a similar role at Deutsche Bank, following in the footsteps of the U.S. firm's former co-head of structured credit marketing Moez Ben-Zid. Ben-Zid, who did not answer calls, joined Deutsche Bank last month as head of structured credit trading and distribution in London.
