People familiar with the matter revealed that Deutsche Bank has hired former Goldman Sachs Group traders Madhav Janakiraman and Benoit Bosque, and the plan also includes at least two senior product sales executives at Morgan Stanley. The new hires will report to Koata-Mensa, who joined Deutsche Bank earlier this year as the former head of commodities at Morgan Stanley to lead the bank's reconstruction efforts in the energy trading sector. Since the matter has not been made public, people familiar with the matter requested anonymity. This recruitment boom has reversed the situation where Deutsche Bank had almost completely stopped recruiting before. In 2013, after experiencing a series of crises, Deutsche Bank withdrew from the commodities business, cut hundreds of employees, and left the dedicated energy, agriculture, dry bulk and basic metals trading business. This broader industry pullback also affected the Wall Street commodity market, when regulators required banks to increase buffers for potential transaction losses to avoid repeating the mistakes of taxpayer-funded bailouts during the global financial crisis. A Deutsche Bank spokesperson said in an email statement: “In recent years, we have seen strong demand from corporate customers for energy solutions. Given this, and the strategic importance of energy, we are further improving our capabilities to better support our global corporate customers.”
