Mark Fedorcik, co-head of Deutsche Bank’s Investment Bank and global head of origination and advisory (O&A), is set to retire after a 30-year career at the firm.

Fedorcik, who joined Deutsche Bank as a graduate in 1995 and took over leadership of the Investment Bank and O&A division in 2019, will “retire from the industry and take on a new challenge in the corporate sector”, according to the bank.
As Germany’s largest bank, with over €633 billion in assets under management, Deutsche Bank has named Alison Harding-Jones as Fedorcik’s successor. She will take the reigns as global head of O&A on 1 April, while also co-heading the Investment Bank with Ram Nayak, head of fixed income and currencies.
Harding-Jones, who has served as Deutsche Bank’s global head of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) since January 2024, will also join the banking group’s management committee.
Before joining Deutsche Bank, Harding-Jones served as head of EMEA M&A at Citigroup for over seven years. Prior to that, she spent more than 25 years at UBS, where she held several senior leadership positions, including head of CEEMEA Investment Banking, head of APAC M&A, and co-head of EMEA M&A.
Commenting on Harding-Jones’ new division, Fabrizio Campelli, the bank’s head of Corporate Bank and Investment Bank, states, “Investing in our O&A franchise is a core priority in our strategic growth, and we remain focused on this, and our Investment Bank overall, as part of our Global Hausbank strategy.”
