Awards for Excellence 2002


John Costas, CEO, UBS Warburg


John Costas is the winner of this year’s PricewaterhouseCoopers’ lifetime achievement award. It reflects his leading role in driving UBS Warburg, where he is now CEO, from being a second-tier global player in investment banking to this year’s best investment bank. His early career in the bond division at CSFB in New York progressed incredibly smoothly. He rose from trainee to co-head of global fixed income. Starting in sales, he progressed to running global distribution and then took a big step up to also running risk management and capital markets at the start of the 1990s.
