LONDON (Reuters) – Bank of America has named Eamon Brabazon co-head of global mergers and acquisitions, alongside Ivan Farman, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.
Brabazon, who has been with the bank for about nine years, was most recently head of mergers and acquisitions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The bank said Brabazon advised on some of its highest-profile deals and that mergers and acquisitions were critical to the success of its investment banking franchise.
“Together, Eamon and Ivan will be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the platform and ensuring our efforts are coordinated globally,” Alex Bettamio and Thomas Sheehan, co-heads of global investment banking, said in a joint memo to employees on Tuesday. .
London-based Brabazon has more than 20 years of deal experience and joined in 2015 as head of financial sponsor M&A. Previously he was at JP Morgan.
