Sempra Energy Trading has hired Vince Kaminski, most recently v.p.-commercial analytics at Reliant Energy in Houston, as managing director and head of quantitative analysis. Kaminski, who left Reliant at the beginning of the year as a result of a sweeping reorganization, could not immediately be reached for comment. He joined the Stamford, Conn.-based trading outfit on Tuesday.
"Sempra likes to hire the best of the best," says Audrey Cullen Davis, Boca Raton, Fla.-based senior partner at recruiter First Call Associates, which placed Kaminski.
After a stint on Wall Street, Kaminski launched Enron's quantitative research group in Houston and went on to work at Citadel Investment Group before moving to Reliant last year.
