UBS has hired Jonathon Boos, director responsible for third-party equity derivatives marketing, from JPMorgan in New York. Jeff Sparks, managing director in equity derivatives, said Boos starts May 15, reporting to Gale Herzing, managing director. Boos replaces Chris Rosen, director, who left UBS last month for HSBC. Herzing was out of town and unavailable for comment.
At JPMorgan, Boos was a v.p. reporting to Bill Shelton and Scott Mitchell, both v.p.s in structured investments. Shelton said Boos has not yet been replaced, but will be within weeks.
