Stephens recruited an executive with more than 30 years experience, whose career includes stops at Wells Fargo, Credit Suisse, Lehman Brothers, PaineWebber and Merrill Lynch.

The new recruit previously worked at U.S. Capital Advisors, an independent wealth management firm.

Robert Peyreigne was hired to fill the role after Michael Armstrong departed Jefferies for RBC earlier this year.

Doubling revenue within three years can mean taking chances — but that doesn't faze Christopher D. Davidson, a man who jumps out of perfectly good airplanes just for fun.

The recruit also previously worked for Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and RBC.

The veteran supervisor got his start at Merrill Lynch in the early 1980s.
