Janet Wolff has resigned from Bank of New York to go to Dresdner Bank, where she will begin work on April 1 as a v.p. of sales and trading. She will report to Craig Meisner, managing director and the firm's head of loan syndications for North America, and Bill Fish, global head of loan syndications. Meisner confirmed the move. Repeated calls to officials and spokepeople at Bank of New York were not returned by press time and Wolff could not be reached.
The recent hire is part of an effort by Dresdner to ramp up its sales and distribution operations from both the primary and secondary perspective. It follows the addition of two individuals to the firm's London office and one internal transfer to its loan group in its Frankfurt office. Dresdner is currently working to broaden its investor focus, explained Meisner. "So much of the market is made up of the institutional investor accounts it's important to be in constant dialogue with them," he said.
