"I'm happy to share that I'm starting a new position as Head of Sales Trading, Asia ex at UBS! I started my sales trading career many moons ago at UBS when the firm took a chance on a nerdy kid in equity research with no trading background. I'm excited to re-connect with friends and colleagues across multiple divisions to deliver the full UBS ecosystem to our institutional and private banking clients," he said.
