Nordea fires two top bosses in Markets

According to FWAM's information, the two bosses, FICC head Kenneth Steengaard and Head of Global Trading Erik Bo Hansen, were called to an unscheduled meeting in which they were dismissed on the spot and asked to have their desks emptied by Monday. These two men were two of the highest ranking bosses in Nordea Markets, which is something of a prize asset to Nordea. Nordea confirms the dismissals, saying that the reason behind is the need for change, particularly in FICC, which stands for Fixed Income, Commodities and Currencies, which is th biggest department in Nordea Markets. The new Head of Fixed Income, Commodities and Currencies appointed in Nordea Markets is Christopher Rees, who will at the same time continue in his position as deputy head of Wholesale Banking. The new Global Head of Trading is Henrik Käll, who comes from a position as head of sales and research at Nordea Markets Sweden. His successor has not yet been found.
