LONDON (Reuters) – Bank of America has named Eamon Brabazon co-head of global mergers and acquisitions alongside Ivan Farman, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.

Brabazon, who has been with the bank for about nine years, was most recently head of M&A in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The bank said Brabazon had advised on some of its most significant deals and that M&A was critical to the success of its investment banking franchise.

“Together, Eamon and Ivan will be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the platform and ensuring that our efforts are coordinated globally,” Alex Bettamio and Thomas Sheehan, co-heads of global investment banking, said in a joint memo addressed to employees on Tuesday.

Headquartered in London, Brabazon has over 20 years of dealmaking experience and joined in 2015 as Head of Financial Sponsor M&A. He was previously at JP Morgan.
