Don't Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out

Don't really have a point to this entry but.....Kevin Horrocks has left Merrill Lynch-BOA. Bear with me...there is an Asian connection.

Unless you work in Marina Bayfront, you probably don't know Kevin. Kevin used to head up ML's ITWS (International Trust & Wealth Structuring - I think that's what it is) out of Switzerland. As big of a fish in the bank trust industry as they come. Surely paid well too.

I suspect that this was an unpleasant divorce but how do they announce his departure? Just a footnote to the announcement of the appointment of his successor. That's life. That's also how many jobs/tour-of-duty/careers end. No big send off, no congratulations, no thanks, no fanfare, no pat on the back for years of hard work, no nothing. In fact Kevin got his name in which is more than most people.

Just to show how old I am, Kevin used to peddle trusts out at Credit Suisse in Singapore. This is before they even had a licensed trust company in Singapore.
