BofA Names London-Based LatAm Head

Bank of America has given Jonathan Moulds – its existing president of Europe, EMEA and Asia – regional responsibility for LatAm and Canada. He will also be president of EMEA and be based in London, reporting to John Thain, president of global banking, securities and wealth management, once the merger with Merrill goes through. Merrill’s LatAm and Canada chief James Quigley will remain the operating head of LatAm, a Merrill spokeswoman says. He will report to Moulds. The BofA-Merrill deal is expected to go through in January and LatAm bankers are competing shops are eagerly awaiting news of the shop’s post-merger regional strategy.
