Jess Sodaski joined Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group as managing director and head of investment grade credit sales.

Based in New York, Sodaski will report to John Karabelas, head of institutional investor sales in the Americas for MUFG. Sodaski will be responsible for leading MUFG’s investment grade sales strategy across the United States, including leading the New York, San Francisco and Chicago investment grade sales teams.

“Jess’s track record and deep knowledge of the credit space is a complementary addition to our team,” Karabelas said. “His experience in working with clients to develop solutions tailored to their needs across the whole spectrum of credit strategies will support our client-centric approach as we look to progress toward becoming a top corporate banking debt house in the Americas across the credit spectrum.”

Sodaski joined MUFG after more than 20 years at Credit Suisse, where he worked with Steve Feinberg, who is now co-head of flow products at MUFG. As a credit salesperson, Sodaski has experience covering various types of accounts, including money managers, insurance companies, bank portfolios, hedge funds and loan portfolios for investment grade and high yield bonds and structured credit.
