Merrill Lynch has promoted Jason Brand, head of corporate finance in Tokyo, to become head of its global investors clients group, which is responsible for all debt sales, in New York. The position was vacated in September, when Doug DeMartin, who had previously filled the role, became head of global credit products in New York, according to a firm official. Brand confirmed the move, but declined further comment.
Brand moved to New York earlier this month and reports to Dow Kim, senior vice president and head of global debt markets in New York. Kim did not return calls.
