Former BayernLB head of trade and export finance, Dominik Zimmer, has joined CaixaBank’s asset and structured trade finance division.
Although an official title is yet to be announced, Zimmer will head the bank’s Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH) and Nordics export finance growth, in what is a new position created for him.
His responsibilities include overseeing business development as well as origination of CaixaBank‘s export finance portfolio with the DACH and Nordics export credit agencies.
“I’m thrilled to share that I have joined CaixaBank‘s asset and structured trade finance division,” Zimmer wrote on LinkedIn. “I look forward to contributing to the growth of the bank‘s export finance business, and to further strengthening CaixaBank’s presence across the DACH and Nordics region.”
Zimmer will be based in Frankfurt as part of the new role, and will report to the head of asset and structured trade finance based in London, Thibaud Ollivier.
Zimmer joins the Spanish lender after an eight-year stint at German bank BayernLB, where he held different roles across the trade and export finance division, including heading the department for the past three years.
Prior to that, he was head of export finance origination for the Asia Pacific region at LBBW. He has also held previous roles across export and trade finance as well as corporate strategy in other companies, including Toyota Boshoku Europe and Donner & Reuschel.
