Aaron Ford, executive director in equity derivative sales at UBS in Stamford, Conn. has taken a similar position at KBC Financial Products. Jason Cuevas, managing director in New York, who heads the KBC's North American trading business, said Ford is filling a newly created seat. The hire is part of the firm's plans to build its U.S. derivatives presence. Ford was a big producer at UBS and was a great hire for the firm, he added. Ford reports directly to Richard Winter, head of equity derivative sales in New York.
At UBS, Ford reported to Michael Mahaffy, managing director, according to Kris Kagel, spokesman in New York. Mahaffy referred calls to Kagel who declined comment on whether Ford has been replaced.
