Katie Porter joins the Debt Capital Markets team in London as Head of UK Corporate Debt Capital Markets UK

Katie originally joined ABN AMRO in January 2020 as part of the US Debt Capital Markets (DCM) team in New York having previously worked at Société Générale in London, Paris and also in New York. She has spent the last 10 years in debt structuring and capital raising roles specialising in institutional loans and bonds. She is a British and Australian citizen, with an iBA in Medicine & Medical Humanities from the University of Bristol.

Katie will play a key role in the on-going build out of ABN AMRO’s DCM franchise, product offering and advisory capabilities enabling it to better support clients through access to capital markets and diversified funding in core currencies (GBP, EUR and USD). Her appointment also consolidates connectivity between ABN’s well-established UK Coverage and Sales & Trading teams at a time when ABN AMRO is looking to support its clients even more holistically.

Speaking about her new role Katie said,

It is an exciting time for ABN to deliver on its European strategy through our UK presence and expertise. I look forward to deepening relationships with corporate clients across the UK & Ireland as well as working closely with the ABN team here.

Vi Davda, Head of UK DCM commented,

I am delighted to welcome Katie to the UK DCM team at what is an exciting time for the business. Katie brings extensive DCM experience from across markets and will help accelerate our growth ambitions in the UK, focusing on the Corporate client segment.
