Executive Managing Director Jason Lisec has been named head of fixed income capital markets by Dallas-based HilltopSecurities.
“Jason has a proven record as an outstanding leader who brings clarity, decisiveness, and expertise to his role with our fixed income capital markets division,” Brad Winges, president and CEO of HilltopSecurities, said in a statement. “He has established great partnerships between our public finance and underwriting leaders to ensure the best execution for our issuing clients.”
Lisec joined HilltopSecurities in 2009 and has served as co-head of fixed income capital markets since 2020. He has more than 30 years of experience in fixed income capital markets, as well as risk management.
Before joining HilltopSecurities, Lisec held leadership positions with A.G. Edwards and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. He serves as a board member with the Bond Dealers of America.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to continue leading HilltopSecurities’ Fixed Income Capital Markets division as we seek opportunities to expand our capabilities and effectively serve clients across the nation,” Lisec said in a statement. “We have an incredibly talented and experienced team.”
In January, HilltopSecurities said it welcomed Managing Director JP Zaptin as head of municipal trading in Dallas, and in 2023 it added Chris Driscoll as managing director, institutional sales, in New York City. Zaptin joined HilltopSecurities from FHN Financial, and Driscoll joined from JP Morgan Securities.
