Exotix Capital, the leading developing markets investment bank, announces the appointment of Peter Urbanczyk, the former CEO of Sberbank’s US business, to expand its reach in global fixed income markets.

“In uncertain times, we believe our role becomes all the more critical in helping to avoid trapped liquidity for our clients,” said Dean Tyler, [Global Head](https://www.financedigest.com/global-growth-headed-down-as-inflation-surge-to-endure.html "Global growth headed down as inflation surge to endure") of Fixed Income at Exotix. “These three very senior additions bring deep and wide ranging relationships to our business, together with decades of experience in originating and distributing [investment products](https://www.financedigest.com/spain-to-invest-5-1-billion-in-electric-vehicle-production.html "Spain to invest .1 billion in electric vehicle production") to broaden and scale our reach.”
