PARIS (Reuters) - Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been named head of an investment firm, marking another step in the business comeback of a man whose career and French presidential hopes were ruined by a sex scandal.

The 64-year-old economist who fronted International Monetary Fund rescues of debt-crushed countries in his time at the helm, was forced to quit the Washington-based public lender in 2011 after a New York hotel maid accused him of sexual assault.
