Kelley Millet is not a man to be trifled with. At college, he captained the football and wrestling teams, and he admits that as an investment banker he can be a hard taskmaster. “If you want to do this business,” he says, “you’ve got to be fully committed.

I’ve always been of the view that everybody can give an A plus for effort, and as long as everybody does, then good things are bound to happen.”

In Millet’s case that means getting to work each day at 6:30am and, “assuming nothing’s gone crazy”, staying until around 8pm. “I do have a huge energy level,” he says. “I’m most happy when I’m doing 15 things at a time.

That’s a good definition of the kind of qualities you need in investment banking.”

Bear Stearns clearly thinks so. When Millet was hired from JP Morgan Chase, Warren Spector, Bear Stearn’s head of fixed income, said: “We are proud to be joined by a professional of Kelley’s exceptional competency.
