Société Générale has hired K.P. Lee, director of fixed income sales at Barclays Capital in Seoul, as an equity derivatives marketer in Hong Kong, according to officials at the firm. He now reports to Raphael Blot, managing director of equity derivatives in Hong Kong, and covers the Korean market. Blot declined comment and Lee was traveling and could not be reached.
Market officials said the hire is likely a partial replacement for the Korean equity derivatives marketing duo that joined Merrill Lynch earlier this summer.
At Barclays, Lee reported to Darcy Lai, head of debt capital markets and investment banking for Asia-Pacific in Hong Kong. Lai was on vacation and could not be reached.
