Societe Generale has appointed a new head of corporate finance for telecommunications, media and technology, at a time when a wave of consolidation in the sector is creating opportunities for banks' advisory and financing teams in Europe.

Daniel Weisslinger has become head of TMT corporate finance, replacing Johanna Campion, according to two people familiar with the matter. Campion will stay on as a senior adviser until the end of the year, following a period of medical leave.
