Fidelity International’s head of debt capital markets for EMEA is set to leave the buy-side firm, The TRADE can reveal.
According to an update on his social media, Stephen Whyman is leaving Fidelity after seven years to pursue another “entrepreneurial path”.
“Leaving Fidelity has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve made, but I feel the time is right to pursue a more entrepreneurial path outside of the company,” he said in his update.
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I’ve had whilst here and I hope I can find similarly rewarding challenges outside.”
The new entrepreneurial path is unconfirmed.
“Stephen Wyman has decided to leave the company to pursue other career opportunities,” a Fidelity International spokesperson confirmed. “We’d like to thank him for his service to Fidelity International.”
Whyman has been with Fidelity International since 2018 where he joined as a senior fixed income trader. He assumed his most recent role as head of debt capital markets for EMEA in 2022.
He originally joined Fidelity from BlackRock where he had been operating as an emerging markets fixed income trader.
Previously in his career, he also spent three years at ABN AMRO N.V in emerging markets roles and two and a half years at Bear Stearns International Trading.
In his update on social media on Thursday, Whyman thanked his colleagues with special mentions of portfolio strategies senior director, Andrew Falco, head of fixed income trading, Lars Salmon, and global chief administrative officer for asset management, Maria Abbonizio.
