Deutsche Bank today announced the appointment of Geoff Tarrant as the new Head of Financial Institutions Group (FIG) for Global Banking in Australia and New Zealand.

Tarrant is currently the Global Head of Capital Solutions in Global Markets for Deutsche Bank in Hong Kong, responsible for public hybrid capital issues and private bi-lateral transactions related to structured lending and capital. He will be returning to Australia in the coming weeks to lead what is already a market-leading practice.

Head of Global Banking, Australia and New Zealand Scott Perkins said, “Geoff brings to this important role both considerable understanding of financial institutions and their strategic and financing challenges, as well as connections with major Australian based FIG clients.”

“Just over three years ago, the Australian management team set the objective to be a top-three investment bank by profitability, market share and reputation across our business. Geoff’s appointment is another important hire in this strategic plan.”
