DCM Banker Joins Pine Buildout

Ex-Jefferies banker David Gould has joined Banco Pine, where he will head an expanded DCM operation from New York, according to a source familiar with the matter. The Brazilian mid-size shop is said to be assembling a US-based DCM, sales and trading operation. The exact timing of the plans is unclear, but the bank plans to make additional hires in these areas. Gould was at Jefferies for more than 2 years before leaving earlier this year. He had previously been on the buyside, at Cargill, Elliot and Damigo.
