Societe Generale has appointed Jeffrey Mortara as global co-head of equity capital markets. Along with Luis Vaz Pinto, he is responsible for the division’s operations.
Mortara has more than 25 years of industry experience and joins Societe Generale after eight years at UBS. Most recently he was global co-head of equity capital markets, before which he was co-head of equity capital markets for the Americas and spent almost five years as head of the firm’s equity capital markets origination division.
Earlier in his career, Mortara was with Deutsche Bank for close to 20 years—the majority once again spent as a managing director for equity capital markets.
Anne-Christine Champion, co-head of global banking and investor solutions, commented: “Jeffrey’s appointment comes at an especially opportune time for Societe Generale following the launch of Bernstein and its top-ranked equity research and distribution capabilities which together with Societe Generale’s own strengths creates a powerful and fully integrated equities platform for our clients.”
