A senior UBS dealmaker has left the Swiss bank after four years to become chief financial officer at a company that produces fake meat.

Julie Sonies, who led UBS's coverage of retail companies within its investment bank in Europe, has become CFO of Redefine Meat, a firm that uses 3-D printers to produce plant-based artificial meat products.
