MOVES-HSBC hires Mittelhamm as new M&A head Germany

FRANKFURT, Jan 6 (Reuters) - HSBC has hired Heiko
Mittelhamm as new head of mergers and acquisitions in Germany
and Austria, the bank said in a statement on Monday.

Mittelhamm will join HSBC in April from Barclays,
where he had overseen deals in the two countries since 2014,
including Advent's takeover of an Evonik business and
Fortum's public takeover of Uniper.

Mittelhamm replaces HSBC's M&A Germany co-heads Jan Masek
and Ralf Neuhaus. Masek is leaving HSBC, while Neuhaus will
serve as Vice Chairman M&A Germany and Austria from April.
