(Bloomberg) -- Leo Civitillo, the global head of fixed-income capital markets at Morgan Stanley, has died. He was 43.
Civitillo died Saturday, according to an online death notice in the Hartford Courant, which didn’t provide a cause of death.
He joined the New York-based bank in 2004 after working at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Before being named head of debt capital markets at Morgan Stanley, he oversaw the structuring of derivatives for municipalities and companies in North America and Latin America.
“Leo was a tremendous partner, colleague and friend,” Morgan Stanley said Tuesday in a statement. “We are deeply saddened by this loss and extend our condolences and sympathies to his family.”
Civitillo was a 1997 graduate of Fairfield University and played baseball at the Connecticut school, according to the death notice. A long-time supporter of his alma mater, he helped its ballplayers find jobs after graduation.
He’s survived by his wife, Christa; daughters Lauren, Rachel and Leah; parents Arcangela and Mario Civitillo; and sister Danielle Civitillo. A family member didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.
