RBC Capital Markets has hired Paula Pandolfino, a former credit marketer at Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank, as a director to lead distribution of structured products into Italy. Reached at RBC where she started last Monday, Pandolfino said she is working across asset classes, including credit and rates, and reports to Avril Pomper, head of credit derivatives marketing in Europe. Pandolfino left Barclays close to a year ago and took time out to travel before joining RBC.
