Bank of America Corp (NYSE: BAC) has announced that it has hired Christian Meissner as its new head of investment banking for Europe, Middle East and Africa just hours after Nomura announced that he resigned his position as deputy global head of investment banking.
Meissner will be based in London and report to Michael Rubinoff and Purna Saggurti, co-heads of global investment banking. He will be responsible for driving growth of the business across the region.
Meissner joined Nomura after the Japanese brokerage purchased Lehman Brothers’ European and Asian operations in October of 2008. Before that, he had been at Lehman for five years.
