The Australian bank has announced a trio of senior hires to strengthen its corporate advisory offering.
ANZ has appointed Ilhem Deb as head of its Asia corporate advisory team, based in Singapore, where she will focus on cross-border M&A transactions in the bank’s core industry segments and private equity, as well as growing deal flow into Australia and New Zealand, the bank announced in a statement on Wednesday.
Deb joins from an Asian tech start-up, where she was responsible for raising capital. She also spent 10 years at Nomura, where she was led the firm's South East Asia M&A team in Singapore and its Technology, Media and Telecom team for Asia (ex-Japan) in Hong Kong. She reports to Richard Dawson, head of loans and specialized finance in Hong Kong and Martin Hanrahan, head of corporate advisory in Sydney.
