Deutsche’s Shrikent to leave soon

SINGAPORE: The head of Deutsche Bank's South-East Asia and South Asia financial institutions group Dhruv Shrikent will leave on March 31, according to an email seen by Reuters.

Shrikent, who worked at the German lender since 2006, most recently advised AIA on its US$1.7bil acquisition of ING's insurance business in Malaysia.

The investment banker, whose coverage area included South-East Asia and India, also worked on a number of capital market deals in the two regions. He has more than 16 years of investment banking and three years of commercial banking experience.

Deutsche Bank has seen some high profile departures in recent months, including its head of corporate and investment banking Loh Boon Chye, who was hired by Bank of America Merrill Lynch as head of Asia-Pacific global markets. Reuters
