Huntington Hires Jeff Abt as Head of Leveraged Finance Syndicate

Huntington National Bank has hired Jeff Abt as senior managing director and head of leveraged finance syndicate, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Abt is set to join the Charlotte and New York offices of Huntington in early May, the people said.

Abt had previously been a managing director and co-head of syndicate, credit sales and trading at Macquarie Group Ltd. since 2015. He left when the lender closed its US debt capital markets arm in February, a move that affected roughly 80 people within Macquarie’s investment bank.
