Credit Suisse First Boston has hired David Jansky as a v.p. in its structured finance collateralized debt obligation group. He reports to Chris Ricciardi, managing director and head of U.S. structured credit products. Jansky, who started two weeks ago, will work on structuring asset-backed securities CDOs as well as investment-grade CDOs. Ricciardi says the position is a newly created one as his group has been expanding.
Jansky joins from Citigroup where he reported to Reaz Islam, managing director and head of the alternative investments group. Prior to that, he was ceo of a dot-com company called Escatena. Before that he worked structuring high-yield CDOs with Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch and Bankers Trust. Jansky says he made the move because he wanted to gain expertise at structuring ABS CDOs or IG CDOs, because his experience is mainly in high-yield collateral. Islam did not return calls.
