Mr Meurer was previously the vice chairman of Citi Australia where he was instrumental in advancing both the investment banking and equities platform; in particular, the establishment of the Citi Australian and New Zealand equities conference held annually in London.

He will help lead and advise an investment banking team that was recently strengthened with multiple senior hires including Ian Maxton, a vice chairman from Deutsche Bank.

Glenn Schiffman, head of investment banking for Nomura Asia ex-Japan, said: "Australia continues to be one of the most important growth opportunities for us. The appointment of Peter, one of Australia's most seasoned and respected bankers, will solidify our efforts to fully capitalize on the opportunities in this market and help to build and strengthen new and existing client relationships."
