Merrill Lynch is bringing aboard Li Dong Sun, assistant v.p. in the treasury department at Citigroup in Beijing, as a marketer in the strategic solutions group in Hong Kong. Li, who starts in the coming weeks, reports to Samir Atassi, director and head of the strategic solutions group in Hong Kong. Atassi confirmed the hire but declined further comment. Li could not be reached for comment.
Earlier this year Merrill snared two marketers from Credit Suisse First Boston for the same team (DW, 5/27) and made several fixed income hires in Japan for similar multi-asset class sales roles.
At Citigroup, Li reported to Paulus Mok, head of treasury marketing in Shanghai. Mok did not return calls.
