Credit Suisse has appointed Martin Keeble as chief
executive, president and representative director of Credit Suisse Securities (Japan). He will
continue to be based in Tokyo. Keeble will be responsible for all the business activities
of Credit Suisse Securities (Japan),
which includes its private banking and wealth management and investment banking
divisions. He will report to Eric Varvel, Credit Suisse’s CEO for Asia Pacific. “Japan
is a key country both for our private banking and wealth management division,
where we are successfully building a differentiated wealth management business,
and for our global investment banking division, from which we serve
institutional and corporate clients from all over the world,” Varvel said. Prior to joining Credit Suisse in 2000, Keeble was deputy
branch manager and head of sales and trading and dealing at Schroder Securities
Limited in Japan.
