Lehman Brothers has signed on derivatives veteran Jim Singh, a former global head of structured products and fixed income derivatives at UBS. He will join in Tokyo as chief administrative officer and head of strategic planning for equities and fixed-income in Asia.
Singh left UBS in 2003 after nine years in Tokyo, London and Chicago. Most recently he has been a derivatives consultant for banks. Calls and emails to him were referred to the press office.
Lehman has been building up its Asian business this year and recently brought on board Hiroshi Wakutsu, from Calyon in Tokyo, to head global finance for Japan (DW, 5/12).
Singh will report jointly to Tokyo-based Hyung S. Lee, head of equities and fixed-income for Asia, Mary Pat Archer, global chief administrative officer for fixed-income in New York, and Pat Whalen, global head of equity trading in New York.
