(Reuters) - Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn) on Thursday named Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) Private Bank executive Amrit Walia as the co-head of New York within its international private bank (IPB) unit in the Americas.

Walia's appointment comes nearly three months after the IPB unit hired seven bankers from Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C), Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) Wealth Management in an effort to bolster its business in the region.

Walia, designated as a managing director, co-heads IPB's New York operations with Anthony Valvo, who is also the unit's head of Miami.

The German lender's IPB unit offers advisory and wealth management services to high net-worth individuals and their families.
