J.P. Morgan announced that its investment banking business hired David Harrison as head of Canadian Energy Investment Banking, to be based in Calgary. Harrison will be responsible for building out the firm’s energy franchise in Canada. He will report to Adam Howard, Senior Country Officer and head of Canadian Investment Banking and Vean Gregg, head of North American Oil and Gas Investment Banking.
Harrison was previously head of Energy Investment Banking at UBS Securities Canada, where he worked since 1995. Harrison was responsible for a wide range of sectors, including oil and gas, power and pipelines, chemicals and forestry.
“David brings tremendous experience, relationships and knowledge advising the top natural resources companies in Canada,” says Howard. “This addition to the investment banking team underscores the firm’s commitment to providing our clients with world class service and building our Canadian platform.”
J.P. Morgan continues to expand it’s presence in natural resources with the 2010 acquisition of select assets of RBS Sempra Commodities and the 2009 acquisition of UBS Commodities Canada Ltd. The firm also recently hired Geoff Cohen as an Executive Director covering Canadian Metals and Mining investment banking to further expand our capabilities in Canada.
