Crédit Agricole CIB Canada appointed Chris Marschall head of its financial institutions group.
Marschall has nearly 25 years of investment banking and structured finance experience in several European countries and Asia. He started his career with ABN AMRO in leveraged finance and asset securitization before moving into equity capital markets (ECM). He has managed teams in ECM at an ECM joint venture with Rothschild and also at the Royal Bank of Scotland, for which he relocated to cover Asia. In 2012, he joined the Asian investment bank CIMB as head of ECM and equity syndicate in north Asia, leading a team focused on originating, structuring and selling ECM deals in north Asia while based in Hong Kong.
Marschall joined Crédit Agricole CIB Canada from his most recent role as head of ECM in the Asia Pacific region at Crédit Agricole CIB Hong Kong. In that role, Marschall focused on origination, structuring and distribution of equity and equity-linked fundraisings (public and private).
As head of the financial institutions group for Crédit Agricole CIB Canada, Marschall will lead the coverage efforts and strategy for all of the company’s business with Canadian financial institutions (pension funds, asset managers, banks and SSAs) globally.
Primarily based in Toronto, Marschall will report locally to Xavier Roux, senior country officer for Crédit Agricole CIB Canada, and regionally to Denise de Diego, head of the financial institutions group in the Americas for Crédit Agricole CIB.
