Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group hired Kimberly Boulmetis as a managing director and head of U.S. financial institutions for its debt capital markets group.
Based in New York, Boulmetis will assume her new role this month and report to Richard Testa, head of investment grade finance. She will be responsible for leading coverage of MUFG’s roster of financial institution clients, including banks, insurance companies, asset management firms, private equity sponsors and business development companies. She will also be responsible for delivering the company’s capital markets capabilities to issuers of investment-grade debt.
“Kim’s distinguished track record spans marquee institutions both large and small,” Testa said. “She brings deep knowledge of markets, complex capital structures and intricate execution strategies — along with an entrepreneurial approach — that make her well-suited for MUFG’s practice and culture as we carry out high-profile mandates for our clients and continue to grow.”
Boulmetis joined MUFG from BTIG, where she was a managing director handling specialty finance within the firm’s investment banking division. She has 25 years of experience covering the capital markets and financial institutions at a range of other firms, including J.P. Morgan, Oppenheimer, Bear Stearns and The Bank of New York.
