Deutsche Bank has shaken up some of its senior ranks in its US investment bank. 

The firm has promoted Michael Santini to vice chairman of Americas corporate finance and John Anos to cohead of global industrials alongside Richard Sheppard.

That's according to two memos from Mark Fedorcik, head of the corporate and investment bank in the Americas.

"In order to further develop our Americas Corporate Finance franchise, we recognize the need to have more senior investment bankers who can actively meet with clients and strengthen our strategic dialogue at the C-suite and Board level," Fedorcik wrote.

Santini had previously been cohead of cohead of global industrials, while Anos had been cohead of the Americas natural resources group. Greg Sommer, who was cohead of Americas NRG with Anos, is taking over as sole head of Americas NRG, according to one of the memos.

Santini, who is a member of the Americas Management Group, will also join the corporate and investment bank's Americas Executive Committee.

Anos joined Deutsche Bank in 1997. He also heads Chemicals and Metals & Mining in the Americas.

Deutsche Bank is separating the leadership of the chemicals and metals & mining franchise from the energy and power business within the Americas, but the natural resources team remains combined at the global level. Khaled Fathallah continues to lead NRG in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, while Yongzhi Jiang leads the team in Asia-Pacific.
