Nomura, the global investment bank, has announced that Ellen Zentner has joined the firm as Executive Director and Senior Economist for the US.
Zentner will be responsible for providing in-depth analysis and research on macro-economic trends affecting the US economy, while also proactively identifying and communicating anomalies in market data which signal important economic shifts.
Michael Guarnieri, Global Head of Fixed Income Research, says, “We believe Ellen’s ability to provide forecasts and instantaneous advice to Nomura’s clients as well as our own sales and trading teams will be a valuable complement to our global economics franchise.”
Before joining Nomura, Zentner was Senior US Macro Economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, based in New York, covering macro-economic forecasting, policy and financial market analysis.
She regularly appears in the media and has a strong international broadcast presence with Bloomberg News, CNBC and CBS Evening News among other media.
The addition of Zentner to cover US economics enhances Nomura’s global economics research team, which currently comprises over 30 economists covering Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America.
