Whitcroft joins debt syndicate desk at Deutsche

Mark Whitcroft is about to join the debt syndicate desk at Deutsche Bank in May after resigning from the equivalent desk at HSBC, sources say. In his new position as a debt syndicate manager he will focus on the origination and distribution of international bonds for issuers across Asia and will report to Herman van den Wall Bake who is co-head of global risk syndicate for Asia with a focus on G3 debt.

van den Wall Bake took on joint responsibility for heading up the syndicate desk together with Jan Wipplinger, who specialises in medium-term note programmes and local currency issues, in February after the previous syndicate head, Mark Leahy, resigned.
