PARIS: Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been named head of an investment firm, marking another step in the business comeback of a man whose career and French presidential hopes were ruined by a sex scandal.
In a statement published by his public relations aide, the man known to many as DSK said he had been appointed president of an investment firm with operations in finance centres including Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco, Belgium, Israel and Romania.
It said the firm founded by French banker Thierry Leyne in 1994 will undergo a name change from the current Anatevka to LSK — Leyne, Strauss-Kahn and Partners. Strauss-Kahn will develop its investment banking and debt-restructuring activities.
