Art de Pena and Robert Gianni, both directors and loan salesmen at Credit Suisse First Boston and UBS, respectively, will soon start at The Royal Bank of Scotland where they will become senior vice presidents for RBS's leveraged loan sales & trading team. Both de Pena and Gianni have already resigned from their previous positions. David Petrucco, senior v.p. of leveraged loan syndication, sales and trading for RBS, said Gianni and de Pena would be the two senior salespeople on RBS' leveraged loan sales & trading desk. He noted that the additions would complement RBS' expansion of its leveraged loan sales and trading efforts in North America, but declined to comment on whether or not additional hires would be made.
