Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (DrKW) has hired Evan Kalimtgis, a highly regarded credit specialist at Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) who was recently reported to be joining Bank of America (BoA).

Kalimtgis, who moved to CSFB in 2000 from Salomon Smith Barney in New York, was thought to be bound for Bank of America. BoA said earlier this month that Kalimtgis, who headed European credit strategy at CSFB, would be joining its credit strategy team as one of four hires from the Swiss-American firm (eFinancialNews, May 23).
