In any case, as it returns, Deutsche Bank also recruited Oh Shin Na for its investment banking team in Seoul. Her main job is to form and develop relationships with both corporate and international sponsors. Prior to joining the company, Oh worked at Credit Suisse and has some job experience with the Samsung Group, the Lotte Group, and Hyundai Motor Group.
