Note:

Pierpoint & Co.

Sara Dhadwal

Sara Dhadwal (Priyanga Burford) is the president of Pierpoint London in season 1, and oversees its new hire program. Firm and principled, she initially clashes with Gus Sackey when he castigates her for promoting Pierpoint's cutthroat culture, which he blames for the death of his colleague Hari Dhar. However, Sara gradually becomes more in favor of culture change at the company; she views Eric as the primary embodiment of Pierpoint's toxicity, and fires him after Harper reports Eric locking her in a conference room to berate her. She also tries to become a more supportive figure to Gus, but he grows increasingly disillusioned with the firm, and purposely sabotages his interview on reduction-in-force (RIF) day. The same day, Pierpoint's global head of FICC, Bill Adler, offers Harper a chance to retract her complaint against Eric to bring him back to the firm; Sara takes her aside and tries talking her out of it, telling her she has the power to fundamentally change the culture of Pierpoint. Harper, however, rebuffs Sara for seeing her as a victim, and agrees to have Eric rehired.

Hilary Wyndham

Hilary Wyndham (Mark Dexter) is the managing director (MD) of the Foreign Exchange Sales (FX) desk at Pierpoint. Throughout the first season, he is shown to be a more measured leader than his subordinate Kenny, an alcoholic and a bully who repeatedly subjects Yasmin to verbal abuse. However, nearing reduction-in-force (RIF) day, Hilary advises Yasmin not to report Kenny's behavior, telling her that being a "team player" would benefit her career prospects. Yasmin caves to Hilary's advice during her RIF interview when she denies having any negative experiences at Pierpoint, and Hilary vouches for her, ensuring that she is hired.

In season 2, Hilary becomes paranoid about contracting COVID-19 at the office, wearing a mask to work and exhibiting germaphobe tendencies. Ironically, it is he who ends up falling ill and having to take time off from the office. Yasmin tells Hilary that she will be spending less time on the FX desk as she explores a move to the Private Wealth Management (PWM) division; Hilary, feeling numb and burnt out from the job, grants her his blessing without much thought.

Hilary does not appear in season 3, having presumably left Pierpoint after the FX and Cross-Product Sales (CPS) desks were consolidated.

Greg Grayson

Greg Grayson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) is a VP on Pierpoint's Cross-Product Sales (CPS) desk. He is initially romantically interested in Harper; she rejects his advances, but the two remain friends afterwards. Greg copes with Pierpoint's ruthless culture using drugs, and also explores writing in his spare time, which Eric publicly mocks him for. During an office Christmas party, Harper tells Robert to look after Greg and make sure he stays sober, but Robert and Greg end up indulging in heavy drug use with a client, culminating in Greg running headfirst into a window and injuring himself. Greg leaves Pierpoint after the incident.

Greg reappears at the end of season 3, now working as a venture capital investor in California. He receives a sales pitch from Robert for Little Labs, a startup producing medicinal psilocybin.

Kenny Kilbane

Kenny Kilbane (Conor MacNeill) is a VP on Pierpoint's Foreign Exchange Sales (FX) desk, and Yasmin's direct line manager. Throughout the first season, Kenny subjects Yasmin to repeated bullying and verbal abuse in the workplace, which he often blames on his alcoholism. In one case, Yasmin brings Kenny to a client dinner she arranged with her family friend Maxim Alonso, but Kenny embarrasses her when he orders a stripper to perform a lap dance on Yasmin in front of her disgusted clients. On reduction-in-force (RIF) day, however, Kenny's boss Hilary Wyndham advises that Yasmin not report his behavior during her interview, suggesting that being a "team player" would help her career prospects.

In season 2, Kenny returns to work following a long stint in rehab during the COVID-19 pandemic, noticeably kinder to his colleagues and vocal about his commitment to self-improvement and repentance. Yasmin, though still uncomfortable around Kenny, invites him to another client dinner, which ends up going well after Kenny and the client bond over both attending AA. When Yasmin announces her departure from the FX desk for a role in private wealth management (PWM), Kenny takes her aside and offers a sincere, tearful apology for his behavior. Later, however, new FX hire Venetia Berens reports to Kenny that CPS client Nicole Craig sexually assaulted her, and that Yasmin dismissed her concerns. Kenny confronts Yasmin about her response, but Yasmin berates him for his hypocrisy given the strip club incident, and brands him a narcissist lording his sobriety over others.

In season 3, Kenny is said to have helped Eric through his drinking problem after the dissolution of his marriage. Eric admits to Yasmin that he regrets showing Kenny a vulnerable side of himself. Eric, recently promoted to partner, is told he needs to fire someone on the trading floor to prove his worth. Instead of firing Yasmin or Robert like he initially considered, Eric fires Kenny, threatening to expose his past treatment of Yasmin if he does not go quietly. Kenny is later shown to have joined Goldman Sachs alongside fellow ex-Pierpoint employees Daria Greenock and Jackie Walsh, and the three agree to help Harper short Pierpoint.
