The firm appointed Abdulrahman Juma as head of macro sales for financial institutions and Anthony Dariane as head of macro sales for sovereign wealth funds and central banks, according to people familiar with the matter. Both previously worked at Credit Agricole SA.
In London, Amin Kirdar will become head of EM Credit Sales and Mouloud Ameni will lead EM Credit Trading. Both are joining from Jefferies Financial Group Inc. and have previously worked at the Tokyo-based firm, according to their LinkedIn profiles. The appointments are part of Nomura’s efforts to revive its emerging-market flow-credit desk, a business the brokerage retreated from in 2019 and then again in 2021. The unit is back in focus as Chief Executive Officer Kentaro Okuda explores ways to reverse a decline in profit and the brokerage is seeking to hire traders, salespeople and analysts.
