Ex-Citi banker to head European M&A at Macquarie

LONDON Oct 5 (Reuters) - Macquarie (MQG.AX), Australia's biggest investment bank, on Monday named former Citigroup (C.N) Managing Director Sam Small as its European head of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Small has more than 15 years' banking experience, Macquarie Capital said in a statement, and has led sector coverage teams in industrials, automotive, and metals and mining.

He has worked on deals including Tata Motors Ltd's (TAMO.BO) acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover and Mittal Steel's purchase of Arcelor to create ArcelorMittal (ISPA.AS), the world's largest steelmaker.

Macquarie, best known as the world's largest investor in public infrastructure, is growing its advisory and capital markets businesses in Europe, North America and Asia.

Last week it agreed to buy Fox-Pitt Kelton Cochran Caronia Waller, a financial institutions-focused boutique, for $130 million. [ID:nBNG467093] (Reporting by Quentin Webb; Editing by Dan Lalor)
