DB Eyes ECM Expansion with Hire

Deutsche Bank has hired Jeffrey Bunzel, it says, to head ECM in the Americas. Bunzel is due to start in September, after 18 years at Credit Suisse. He will be managing director, reporting to Mark Hantho, global co-head ECM. As Bunzel was involved in many LatAm deals at CS, his hiring is expected to help Deutsche win more ECM mandates in the region, according to sources at the Bank. There are no specific plans to add additional staff to the bank’s regional ECM team, which now numbers less than 10, they say.
