Nomura, the global investment bank, continues to strengthen its Investment Banking team in the US with the appointment of Douglas Decker as Managing Director and Head of Convertible Bond Origination to execute Nomura's client focused, solutions driven strategy.
Philippe Dufournier, Head of Global Finance said “Nomura is fully committed to enhancing the scale and scope of its investment banking proposition and using our Global resources in support of our clients in the Americas. We look forward to Doug partnering with Neeraj Hora and Ken Brown who have responsibility for Nomura's Equity-Linked and Corporate Equity Derivative business globally."
“We are confident Doug’s extensive, global and respected experience in the Equity-Linked solutions sector will prove invaluable to Nomura’s clients” said Glenn H. Schiffman, Head of Investment Banking, Americas.>
Mr. Decker joins Nomura from Wells Fargo where he worked as Head of Equity-Linked Origination in New York since 2007. Prior to Wells Fargo, Mr. Decker worked at Barclays Capital in London for six years where he notably built a market leading franchise as their Head of Convertible Origination for Europe and Asia.
Mr. Decker will be responsible for all aspects of marketing and executing Equity-Linked solutions for Nomura's clients. He will work closely with William Brett, Managing Director in the Corporate Equity Derivatives group.
Nomura’s Chief Executive Officer Kenichi Watanabe said in April that he aims to transform the Tokyo-based brokerage into a global financial firm.
