ABN Amro hires ABS syndicate head

Former Morgan Stanley ABS pro Carolyn Morrill has started in her position as head of ABS syndicate at ABN AMRO, where she will be a managing director. Morrill, a longtime veteran of ABS syndicate and trading, is the first piece in what is expected to be a fairly large ramp up for its U.S. ABS group (as well as the Capital Markets group as a whole), following the defection of former ABS group head John Mullen, who resigned in early May. Morrill left her position at Morgan Stanley last fall.
