Deutsche Bank promoted a fixed income veteran to lead its business in the UK and Ireland, replacing Tiina Lee, who left for Citigroup earlier this year. Vathany Vijayaratna is now chief executive for the UK and Ireland at the German lender. She has worked at Deutsche for 20 years, and was previously global head of structuring within its fixed income and currencies division, and was most recently head of non-financial risk for its investment bank.

Deutsche Bank also hired a senior dealmaker to focus on financial institutions as it continues to build out the unit as part of a broader expansion of its investment bank. Ian Wesson joined the German lender as a managing director within its financial institutions group M&A team. He spent 20 years at Citigroup, where he also worked within its FIG team.
