Abdelkerim Karim and Sam Ruiz, former Lehman Brothers bankers now working at Nomura, have been named co-heads of the firm's equities business for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to Nomura. Their roles are effective April 1.
Karim and Ruiz became part of Nomura when the Tokyo-based investment bank acquired Lehman Brothers' European operations in 2008 after Lehman failed.
