Deutsche Bank has hired Jeff Urwin, as co-head of corporate banking & securities and head of corporate finance.
Urwin joins Deutsche Bank from JP Morgan, where he was co-head of global banking. He worked at JP Morgan from 2008, when he joined as part of the firm’s acquisition of failed investment company, Bear Stearns.
Urwin will become a member of Deutsche Bank’s Group Executive Committee and will be based in New York. He will lead Deutsche Bank’s investment banking division together with Colin Fan, who is also head of markets.
In his new role, Urwin succeeds Robert Rankin who departed Deutsche Bank earlier this year to become chief executive officer of Consolidated Press Holdings, an Australian investment holding company.
Urwin will report to Anshu Jain, co-chief executive officer of Deutsche Bank. Jain says: “Jeff’s decision to join us underscores our commitment to being a client-centric bank.”
Commenting on his move, Urwin thanked his colleagues at JP Morgan for their “partnership and professionalism”.
