LUXEMBOURG, July 20, 2020 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) today announced the opening of a Luxembourg office to expand its capital markets operations in the region, while continuing to serve its clients who are present or active in the European Union, following Brexit.
“CIBC Capital Markets is pleased to establish a continental Europe office in Luxembourg to deepen relationships with our European client base, while building out our capital markets operations in the region,” said Wayne Lee, Managing Director and Head, Europe & Asia Pacific Region.
The bank’s continental Europe operations will be led by Thomas Pellequer, Chief Executive and Authorized Manager of CIBC Capital Markets (Europe) S.A. Mr. Pellequer has spent more than a decade at CIBC, most recently leading the bank’s Corporate Solutions Group for Europe and Asia.
