Morgan Stanley's ex-head of credit sales joined JPMorgan in a curious role

Saba Danish is back. Three months after we reported her disappearance from Morgan Stanley, where she was head of European credit sales, Danish is understood to be joining JPMorgan instead. 

However, her new role is not as big as her old one.

Multiple sources said Danish is joining JPMorgan where it's understood that she'll be head of co-head of high yield and hedge fund sales instead of head of all credit. JPMorgan declined to comment.

Danish joined Morgan Stanley in 2004 and left again in February 2025 according to the FCA Register. It was thought at the time that she'd resigned, although it's not clear whether this was the case. In most cases, non-compete arrangements for senior staff last for more than three months.

Various people have left Morgan Stanley's credit team. Other exits include Herbert Filho, its head of European credit trading and research, who's at hedge fund Jain Capital, and Shubham Singal, who went to Rokos in January. There have been unconfirmed suggestions of discontent within the team with the global head of credit trading.
