(Bloomberg) — Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce appointed Mike Freeborn and Alfred Traboulsi co-heads of global corporate and investment banking.
Freeborn will focus on the bank’s Canada franchise and Traboulsi the U.S. platform, according to an internal memo from Christian Exshaw, who’s set to become head of CIBC’s capital markets unit later this year. A representative for the Toronto-based bank confirmed the contents of the memo.
The move to create co-heads for investment and corporate banking is the latest in a series of changes as Harry Culham assembles his leadership team and prepares to take over as chief executive officer on Nov. 1.
Eric Metivier, the current head of global corporate banking, will become executive vice-president and chief risk officer of corporate and private credit risk, reporting to Frank Guse, CIBC’s chief risk officer. Kevin Li, previously global head of investment banking, was recently promoted to run the bank’s U.S. business.
In other changes, Arden Majewski and Anton Erdody will co-head global markets trading, responsible for global credit financing and resource management. Giorgia Anton will take on the newly created role of head of payments, and Brad Black will head global distribution.
John Ovens, who currently heads global markets financing, will retire by the end of January.
