Goldman Sachs' Italian investment-banking chairman is to take over as head of the bank's Moscow office, according to an internal memo Reuters obtained Wednesday.
Paolo Zannoni is to succeed American Chris Barter, who is leaving to start a new investment company, and French co-head Jean Raby, who will take on senior client coverage within investment banking, the memo said. Zannoni will also remain chairman of Goldman's Italian investment-banking business.
Goldman Sachs' chief equity trader in Moscow, Peter Kizenko, said Wednesday that he quit to return to New Jersey and finish building a commercial banya.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
