Wells Fargo has appointed an investment banker from Credit Suisse. The firm has announced the appointment of Jill Ford as head of its equity capital markets (ECM) business. Ford, a managing director, had been co-head of Equity Capital Markets Americas at Credit Suisse.

Once Ford joins the firm, Wells Fargo's current co-heads of ECM, Lear Beyer and Craig McCracken, will step aside and take senior positions at the firm.
