Canaccord Financial Inc. has hired a new energy banker who was most recently at rival Dundee Capital Markets, just a few months after one of Canaccord's top people in Calgary went the other way.

David Vankka is moving to Canaccord as a managing director in investment banking. Mr. Vankka has almost two decades of work in capital markets behind him, Canaccord said in an internal note announcing the hire.

Mr. Vankka was a managing director at Dundee until this past summer, prior to which he worked in risk management at asset manager Gluskin, Sheff + Associates, and had banking roles at Calgary boutiques Tristone Capital and Peters & Co.

"I am very confident David will be a great team player, partner and mentor in Calgary," Bruce MacDonald, Canaccord's global head of energy, said in the internal memo.

It's somewhat of a swap for Canaccord and Dundee. One of Canaccord's senior Calgary bankers, Tony Loria, went to Dundee during the summer, along with a team of three other professionals.
