Goldman Sachs Japan Names Co-Heads in 3 Businesses as Talent War Intensifies

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 3

Goldman Sachs Japan has installed new co-heads in merger advisory, capital markets and yen bond sales, extending a push to elevate younger executives into senior roles.
Hidehiro Imatsu, 55, has driven the reshuffle since taking over the securities business two years ago, aiming to make the firm more attractive to younger professionals.
The leadership changes come as a merger boom, rising Japanese stocks and volatile bond yields lift activity across dealmaking and markets businesses.
That surge in business has also sharpened competition for bankers and traders, leaving global firms in Japan facing one of the fiercest talent battles in years.
