Stephen O’Donnell, head of sales strategy for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Morgan Stanley, has announced his departure from the investment bank after more than 15 years.
O’Donnell began his career with Morgan Stanley at its Glasgow office in 2006, where he became an analyst within the equity product control division.
He joined the firm’s London office in 2008, where he entered the exotic derivatives product control division, before becoming EMEA head of vanilla derivatives product control between 2013 and 2016.
O’Donnell was later appointed vice president and EMEA securities lending COO, prior to achieving his latest role as EMEA head of sales and strategy.
In an online post, O’Donnell says: “After a fantastic 15 and a half years at Morgan Stanley, the time has come for a new challenge. Starting out in 2006 in the finance department in Glasgow seems like a lifetime ago.
“It has been such a great journey and I am grateful to the multitude of people, who gave me opportunities and supported me along the way, not to mention the countless friendships made. I am excited now for the next chapter.”
O’Donnell departed from Morgan Stanley to pursue other opportunities.
