Deutsche Bank Adds Two Directors To CDO Group

Deutsche Bank is adding two directors to its collateralized debt obligation group.

Deutsche Bank is adding two directors to its collateralized debt obligation group. Jay Bryant will join the week of March 20 as a director from Merrill Lynch, while Peter Keller has moved to New York from the bank’s London office.

The pair fill new positions that have been added as a result of growth in the bank’s cash and synthetic CDO businesses, according to an official close to the firm. Both will be responsible for CDO syndication, origination and distribution and report to Michael Herzig and Michael Lamont, co-heads of U.S. CDOs.

At Merrill, Bryant was a director and marketer. His former report could not be determined. Keller was a director on the synthetic CDO structuring desk in London. Herzig, Lamont and Bryant declined comment. Keller could not be reached.
