Dreyfus Loses Another Sales Honcho

News summary by MFWire's editors

And another one bites the dust.

Lazard has hired Dwight Jacobsen away from Dreyfus to serve as Lazard's national sales manager for the U.S. Financial Institutions Group.

Jacobsen, hired by Dreyfus in August 2008, served as the firm's head of intermediary distribution.

Before that, he was head of Relationship Management and Strategic Alliances Group for Pioneer Investments, was Northeast Regional Sales Director for DWS Scudder Investments, and was a Managing Director at Putnam Investments.

Just a month ago, Dreyfus' executive vice president for broker-dealer distribution, Joe Fuschillo left the firm.

At the time of Fuschillo's departure, a Dreyfus spokesperson had issued a statement declaring that Andrew Provencher, hired as head of U.S. retail sales for Dreyfus parent BNY Mellon in June, was "in the process of evaluating and further enhancing our sales and distribution efforts moving forward."

Here is the press release:
