Swiss investment bank Credit Suisse has hired five bankers to staff its newly reopened office in Poland's capital Warsaw.
The team will be led by Tomasz Bardzilowski, who joins as a managing director and head of the Polish equities business from UniCredit in Poland, where he was most recently deputy chief executive and head of central and eastern European equities. He had previously worked in Credit Suisse's Warsaw office in equity research until 2003.
He is joined by Jarek Tomczynski, who was previously deputy head of global equity sales at UniCredit CAIB Securities in London. Other recruits include Grzegorz Kolodziejczyk as a director in sales trading and execution, from BZ WBK and Marta Jezewska who joins as a vice-president in equity research from BRE Bank Securities.
Jan Koch arrives in August as a director in sales trading and execution from ING in Poland. Krzysztof Kaczmarczyk also comes on board as a vice-president in equity research from TPSA Group where he was head of corporate strategy and business development.
Guy Rigden and Nichola Dobinson, co-heads of EEMEA Equities for Credit Suisse in London, said in a statement: "Poland is a key part of our emerging markets equities business in Europe. We are pleased to attract someone of Tomasz' calibre to our platform and are confident that he will deliver outstanding service to our clients in Poland."
