NEW YORK, July 12 (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley (MS.N) has hired veteran investment banker Daniel Cohen from Truist Financial Corp (TFC.N), where he was the head of the firm's healthcare services advisory business, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
In his new role, Cohen will continue to focus on dealmaking in the pharmaceutical services sector, the person said, requesting anonymity because the move is not yet public.
Morgan Stanley declined to comment.
Cohen's hire comes after veteran pharmaceutical industry bankers Arek Kurkciyan and Dennis Crandall left Morgan Stanley last year to join Moelis & Co (MC.N).
Cohen spent just over one year at Truist, where he served as the head of pharmaceutical services investment banking and healthcare sponsor coverage, before being elevated as the head of the healthcare services unit, according to his LinkedIn profile.
