Joseph Gaziano, pass-through trader at Morgan Stanley in New York, has joined Citigroup as a director in a similar role. He started at Citi earlier this month and reports to Shiv Chatterjee, who recently took over as head of mortgage trading (BW, 6/21). Calls to Gaziano were directed to Joseph Christinat, spokesman, who confirmed the hire.
At Morgan Stanley, Gaziano reported to Colin Teichholtz, head of the pass-through trading desk in New York. Teichholtz did not return a call by press time.
