Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) has announced four senior personnel changes in its New York office.
Anthony Nocera, co-head of the Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) Group, has decided to transition to a senior advisory role at KBRA.
Nocera, who joined the company in September 2011, will continue to support the ABS team in his role as senior advisor over the next six to nine
months, focusing on non-traditional ABS assets.
Prior to joining KBRA, Nocera worked at Ambac Assurance, where he
managed a portfolio in excess of $12 billion.
In addition, KBRA has named Rosemary Kelley as head of the ABS Group, effective immediately. Kelley, who was co-head of the ABS Group along
with Nocera, will now assume responsibility for both consumer and
commercial asset classes.
KBRA also announces that Cecil Smart, Jr. and Eric Neglia have been
appointed to lead the commercial ABS and Consumer ABS teams, respectively, and will both report to Kelley.
