UBS tapped Credit Suisse chief executive Ulrich Körner for its board as it merges with its cross-town rival, but has largely stuck with its own leadership team for the combined entity. Körner will join UBS's board when the transaction closes in the coming weeks, the bank said in a statement.

Barclays hired a former Deutsche Bank dealmaker to co-head its equity capital markets business in Europe, the latest senior change at the UK lender. Foruhar Madjlessi joined the UK lender as co-head of equity capital markets for Emea, working alongside Lawrence Jamieson, who was promoted to lead the business in September.
