New Deutsche Börse chief executive Carsten Kengeter has drafted in a veteran fixed income banker and former colleague at UBS as sales head in his first major hire since taking the reins of the German exchange group.

Rob Jolliffe has joined to fill the newly created position of global head of sales with immediate effect, reporting directly to Kengeter, who joined Deutsche Börse's board in April this year and took over from Reto Francioni as chief executive on June 1.
