Mary Ann Deignan, co-head of global equity capital markets at Bank of America Corp., is leaving the bank to join Lazard, according to a spokesman for Bank of America.

Ms. Deignan will be part of the Lazard corporate preparedness team where she will be focused on activist and corporate governance advisory work.

Craig Coben, who is currently Bank of America's co-head of global equity capital markets, will become the sole head of the group.

No other changes at Bank of America are planned at this time, the spokesman said.

Mr. Coben and Ms. Deignan were named global equity capital markets co-heads in 2014.

Ms. Deignan's departure comes amid a sharp slowdown in IPO activity this year, in what's been the lowest-volume year since 2009 during the depths of the financial crisis.
