Matthew Greenburgh leaves Bank of America

Matthew Greenburgh resigned from Bank of America Merrill Lynch as the banc hired seven people for its global corporate banking business.

Matthew Greenburgh is one of the architects of the disastrous 67 billion-pound takeover by three European banks of ABN AMRO in 2007.

Greenburgh advised former Royal Bank of Scotland chief Fred Goodwin on the ABN AMRO deal and worked for Lloyds Banking Group on last year's takeover of HBOS, which saddled the bank with billions of pounds of bad debt.

Greenburgh was named Bank of America Merrill Lynch's international head of corporate and investment banking for financial institutions in March 2009.

From now, Greenburgh’s clients will be shared between Andrea Orcel, executive chairman, global banking and markets, and Henrietta Baldock, the head of financial institutions for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, a person familiar with the matter said.

Seven, the Bank of America employed, are Carole Berndt and Wayne Scott join in London, accompanied by Denise Menelly in New York, Charles Alexander, Ivo Distelbrink and Tim Fleming in Hong Kong and Percy Batliwalla in Singapore.
