“GMP Capital Trust promoted Dan Tsubouchi to Vice Chairman and Co-head of Investment Banking, in addition to his current responsibilities as Head of Calgary office.

GMP also hired Base-metal and Uranium Research Analyst David Wargo from Cormark Securities.

In another promotion, Paradigm Capital appointed Ian Joseph, President who will continue to cover clients in his Senior Investment Banking Role.

In a series of CIBC World Markets moves:

• Former TMX Group executive Rik Parkhill was brought in as Head of Cash Equities (sales, trading, research and alternative execution services)
• Tim Carrington, came from an Investment Bank in Europe to become the Head of Equity and Commodity Structured Products
• Ian Parkinson left Versant Partners to join as the new Junior Exploration Research Analyst
• Dan Barnholden resigned from MGI Securities for a role as Investment Banking Director in the Global Mining Group

Craig Miller left his post as Junior Exploration Analyst at BMO Capital Markets for TD Newcrest.

Saad Mahmood has resigned as Vice President, Institutional Sales, at ITG Canada to join Paribas in Dubai as Director, Institutional Equity Sales and Trading.

Charlie Kim, Portfolio Manager at HSBC Investments in Vancouver left for Alberta Teachers’ Pension Plan.

Recently, Jeff Gamble left Cantor Fitzgerald to take on the role of Co-head of Trading and Head U.S. Trading at Versant Partners.

Correction – last week we should have mentioned Mark Ashcroft from MGI Securities going to Stonegate Minerals not the science fiction-like name Stargate Minerals.
