The head of investment banking for Israel, Central and Eastern Europe and Africa at Morgan Stanley, who prior to joining the bank was an F15 fighter jet pilot in the Israeli air force, is to leave the bank ahead of an expected move to a rival.

Ronnie Golan, a 15-year Morgan Stanley veteran, has left the US bank, according to two sources familiar with the situation. He is thought to be joining a rival, though it remains unclear where that might be.
