Deutsche Bank has hired Lackland Bloom, former co-head of oil and gas investment banking at J.P. Morgan, to run its Houston office as a managing director in the natural resources group.

Bloom will report to Greg Sommer and John Anos who are co-heads of Deutsche Bank's natural resources group, according to an Aug. 22 report of a memo obtained by IFR.

Bloom had been with J.P. Morgan for roughly 16 years. Prior to joining J.P. Morgan, he was an equity research analyst at Dain Rauscher Wessels covering the oilfield services sector. He will officially join Deutsche Bank next month, the report said.
