Mizuho Americas hired Dan Dolev as managing director and senior equity research analyst covering financial technology. Dolev is based in New York and will report to Susan Gilbertson, head of U.S. equity research.
Dolev joined Mizuho from Macquarie, where he served as senior analyst of equity research, covering payments and business services. Prior to that, he was a senior analyst at Nomura Instinet covering payments and business services. He also previously covered U.S. business services for Jefferies.
