(Reuters) -Bank of America promoted Denis Manelski and Soofian Zuberi to become presidents and co-heads of global markets and made several other leadership changes in its trading arm, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters on Friday.
The second largest U.S. bank looks to build momentum in sales and trading after 14 consecutive quarters of revenue growth.
Manelski has been with the bank since 2004 and most recently served as head of sales for fixed income, currencies and commodities. Zuberi has more than three decades of experience and was head of global equities for the last four years.
Bank of America recently promoted Jim DeMare, who led global markets, to the role of co-president of the entire bank, making him a potential candidate to succeed CEO Brian Moynihan.
BofA’s sales and trading revenue grew 9% to $5.4 billion in the third quarter.
Trading revenues at major U.S. banks rose in the third quarter of 2025 as ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and global events drove market volatility. This turbulence led investors to increase hedging of their positions, generating higher activity that benefited trading desks.
