Salvatore ‘Chicco’ di Stasi was a pioneer in finding complex solutions for clients using equity derivatives. His next trick: helping to get UBS’s equities business back on track.

The former Goldman Sachs partner joined UBS in 2010, but it was in 2012 that his role really came to the fore. The bank decided in October that year to shift its business away from fixed income and place more emphasis on its equities franchise, giving di Stasi's role added significance.
