Two bankers in the Macquarie Group’s US TMT team have left to join separate banks.
Brian Pope, a managing director who focused on media deals, has accepted a role in the Royal Bank of Canada’s New York office, TelecomFinance understands.
Former colleague Fehmi Zeko, a senior managing director, will become vice chairman of TMT at Bank of America, a person familiar confirmed.
Macquarie, RBC and Bank of America have all declined to comment.
Pope joined the Australian investment bank in September 2008 and had previously worked for JP Morgan for ten years.
Zeko started at Macquarie in May 2011 and had formerly served as a vice chairman of Deutsche Bank’s global investment bank and chairman of its global media and telecom team.
In June, Macquarie Capital announced the appointment of a new US TMT senior managing director, Scott Bruckner, who joined from Perella Weinberg Partners. The bank hopes Bruckner’s appointment will help bolster its TMT business in the US. Macquarie Capital has made several new hires recently, also including Larry Handen, who focuses on principal transactions and has software expertise, and Peter Davis, who concentrates on financial technology.
