One of Wall Street's youngest female executives just left Bank of America in London
- Lucy Baldwin, a manager director in equities at Bank of America in London, is leaving the bank.
- Baldwin, who previously worked at Goldman Sachs, became one of the firm's youngest MDs when she made the title at age 28.
Lucy Baldwin, a managing director in equities at Bank of America in London, is leaving the bank, according to people familiar with her departure.
She was at the bank since 2015, and before that she was at Goldman Sachs in London, becoming one of the firm's youngest MD at 28 years old.
A Bank of America spokeswoman declined to comment on the departures. Baldwin did not respond to a call seeking comment.
Baldwin worked on the Equities Management Team at Bank of America, where, as she explained to University of Birmingham in 2015, the team comes "up with ideas, research content, then we're packaging that into actionable ideas that our end client can ultimately trade though us or, of course, through other banks in the City."
In 2014, Baldwin was listed as Forbes "30 Under 30" list for finance.
"The challenge the industry has is reducing the female attrition at more senior levels," Baldwin said in an interview with Shard Fund in 2015, when she was 30 years old.
Another two managing directors in London equities are also leaving Bank of America. Mike Abrahams, who says on his LinkedIn profile that he has spent 21 years in equity sales and sales trading at BofA's Merrill Lynch unit. Martin Creed, an MD in equities, also left, the people said.
Abrahams did not immediately reply to a message seeking comment. Creed could not be reached for comment.
Bloomberg, citing people familiar, first reported the BofA departures, which it said also included Greg Kaldor, a managing director in the macro, equity and global alpha group, and Ravjit Johar, a London-based director.
