KBC Financial Products has hired Andrew Harwood for the new position of senior v.p. high-yield sales, says Joe Garofoli, managing director at the New York-based unit of Belgium's KBC Bank. The hire is the latest of several sales and research hires KBC has made as it continues to grow its high-yield effort (BW, 1/26, 3/9). Harwood, who joins from ING Financial Markets, will report to Eric Needleman and Dan McAloon, co-heads of KBC's high-yield business. Harwood could not be reached, and ING officials did not return calls.
