Deutsche Bank added Jeffrey Mensch to its M&A team as a managing director. Mensch will be based in New York and report to Charlie Dupree, head of Americas M&A.

Mensch will join the bank in early June from MacAndrews & Forbes where he was a senior vice president in the finance department for the past three years, responsible for tax structuring, analysis and acquisition of tax assets and advising M&F portfolio companies on M&A and capital raising matters.

He spent the prior seven years at Evercore and UBS, respectively, as a managing director advising clients on tax solutions across different areas including divestitures, mergers, spin-offs and joint ventures.

“With extensive experience structuring tax solutions, Jeff will be a valuable asset to our clients as they prepare for tax reform in the U.S.,” Dupree said. “His experience includes some of the most notable deals of the past few years spanning healthcare, technology, media and natural resources.”

This is the seventh MD Deutsche Bank has added to its Americas Corporate Finance team this year and the second for M&A.

“We continue to invest significantly in the region and are focused on building out sectors and products where we can add the most value to our clients and our franchise,” said Mark Fedorcik, head of Corporate Finance Americas and co-head of CIB Americas. “We look forward to Jeff joining and leveraging his expertise.”
