Risk expert Zakaria takes a top post at Merrill
Merrill Lynch has promoted its corporate head of risk management, Arshad Zakaria, to co-head its corporate and institutional client group (CICG). He will have executive responsibility for global investment banking, debt, equity and securities services. His promotion signals Merrill’s recognition of the importance of derivatives and risk management at the bank.
Zakaria, 39, has been a managing director at Merrill Lynch for the past 10 years, serving as chief operating officer and then head of the global corporate finance group before being named head of corporate risk management in May 2000. He received a BA in applied mathematics from Harvard University and an MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business School, where he was a Baker Scholar and recipient of the Loeb-Rhoades Fellowship in Finance.
Roy, 54, built a career in the London equity market, rising to become chief executive of Smith New Court, which Merrill bought in 1995. Three years later he became head of global equities.
Michael Marks, 59, who ran Smith New Court, last week became chairman of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers. This is in addition to his existing responsibilities as the head of Merrill Lynch's Europe, Middle East and Africa operation and one of the firm’s executive vice-prsidents.
