Peter Quinn has resigned from J.P. Morgan Securities, where he was a v.p. and high-grade utility analyst, to join Goldman Sachs in a similar capacity, according to analysts familiar with the situation. He replaces Robert Rubin, who left for Deutsche Bank earlier this year. Quinn could not be reached for comment and his new title could not be determined. A call to Paula Dominick, head of credit research at Goldman Sachs, was not returned.
Quinn had spent roughly 12 years between J.P. Morgan and Chase Securities, according to one analyst who knows him well. The firm's plans to replace him could not be determined, though an announcement is expected today, according to one analyst familiar with the situation. Margaret Cannella, head of high-grade research at J.P. Morgan, declined to comment.
