Jefferies CEO Rich Handler and president Brian Friedman said: “The loss of Peg is incredibly personal for us as he was a member of our own extended family. For over a dozen years, Peg has been our CFO and partner, and helped us build Jefferies from less than half its current size, and navigate through hard times and good times.
“He has also been a much-loved and respected leader to the incredible global team that provides the support, foundation and glue across our firm.
“But Peg was so much more. Part of what made Peg the great partner he was to all of us was his core humanity.”
