Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s hiring of a former Credit Suisse Group AG vice president of emerging markets has left the executive facing a lawsuit accusing her of stealing her former employer’s trade secrets.
Credit Suisse alleged Agostina Pechi took the information in a bid to win clients for Goldman Sachs, according to a complaint in state court in Manhattan. In February and March, Pechi secretly sent e-mails with client lists and other confidential bank information from her work account to her personal inbox, and printed “critical transaction documents” late at night from her office, when she was supposed to be on vacation, Credit Suisse said in the complaint filed May 3.
