Nomura has appointed Peter Meurer as chairman of its investment banking division in Australia. Mr Meurer was previously vice chairman of Citi Australia, where he was instrumental in advancing both the investment banking and equities platform.
Mr Meurer has over 30 years experience in the investment banking and stockbroking industries and has been involved in numerous IPO’s including Qantas, Woolworths, Tabcorp, and Just Group. He will help lead and advise an investment banking team that was recently strengthened with multiple senior hires including Ian Maxton, a vice chairman from Deutsche Bank.
Glenn Schiffman, head of investment banking for Nomura Asia ex-Japan, said: “Australia continues to be one of the most important growth opportunities for us. Nomura in Asia considerably strengthened its investment banking team last year with the acquisition of Lehman Brothers’ Asia franchise.
“The appointment of Mr. Meurer, will solidify our efforts to fully capitalise on the opportunities in this market and help to build and strengthen new and existing client relationships.”
