VIE Veolia Environnement SA

By Jenny Strasburg 

Deutsche Bank AG said Monday it has hired former Electricité de France SA finance chief Thomas Piquemal as global head of mergers and acquisitions, starting this week.

Mr. Piquemal, who resigned from the French utility known as EDF nearly three months ago, will be based in Paris and report to Jeff Urwin, Deutsche Bank's New York-based head of corporate and investment banking.

The bank's top global deal-advisory job has been vacant since June 2015, when Henrik Aslaksen left Deutsche Bank. Last month he joined Credit Suisse Group AG in a senior investment-banking role.

Mr. Piquemal had been EDF finance chief since 2010. He previously was finance chief at waste- and water-management company Veolia Environnement SA from 2009 to 2010, and before that was a partner at investment bank Lazard Frères, where he worked from 1995 to 2009.

The 47-year-old will also become chairman of corporate and investment banking in France.

Mr. Urwin in a Deutsche Bank statement cited Mr. Piquemal's seven years in top finance jobs and nearly 15 years advising companies and their boards on corporate finance, underscoring the German lender's investment in the deal-advisory business.
