March 31, 2020 by Bloomberg News
Jefferies Financial Group said Peg Broadbent, the longtime chief financial officer of its main subsidiary, has died from complications tied to coronavirus, marking one of the first deaths among senior Wall Street executives from the pandemic. He was 56.
Broadbent had been CFO at the New York-based financial-services company since November 2007, following a 16-year career at Morgan Stanley, where he was head of institutional controllers.
“We already miss Peg and this is a very sad reminder about the fragility of life,” Jefferies Chief Executive Officer Rich Handler and President Brian Friedman said Sunday in an emailed statement. “We are heartbroken and will miss his decency, calmness and dry wit as he helped us navigate good times and bad.”
