Germany-headquartered financial services firm Deutsche Bank has hired Gil Ahrens as its US-based head of venture capital and emerging growth company coverage.
Ahrens comes to the bank after two years in the same role at Wells Fargo Securities, the capital markets and investment banking services arm of US-based financial services firm Wells Fargo.
During his time at Wells Fargo Securities, Ahrens collaborated with technology, media and telecommunications startups on behalf of its Technology Investment Banking group.
Deutsche Bank has invested in financial management technology developer Zeitgold and payment technology provider ModoPayments in recent months. The firm also runs Deutsche Bank Innovation Labs incubators in the US, Germany and the UK.
The move follows Deutsche Bank’s appointment of Cassio Carvalho Pinto Vidigal as Brazil-based head of global subsidiary coverage last month.
