Russian investment bank Troika Dialog has recruited a second managing director in the space of a few days as the hiring trend among banks and brokerages in the country continues apace.

James Corrigan joins Troika to focus on arranging debt and equity deals, mergers and acquisitions, and deal structuring as well as investment consulting work for real estate companies. He previously worked as an executive director in global banking at Russian rival VTB Capital for three years, according to a statement from Troika this morning.
