Our ability to offer our clients an integrated advisory proposition across private growth capital and public equity markets, in conjunction with our strong businesses in debt advisory and private capital advisory, will further broaden and deepen our leading capabilities across the spectrum of capital markets solutions.”

Mr. Schwartz said, “I am thrilled to be joining Evercore, an organization I have observed, partnered with and respected over the last two decades for its professionalism, dedication to client service and its world-class team. I look forward to advancing Evercore’s Equity Capital Markets platform in EMEA while also establishing a London-based Equity Private Placements team to advise and fund the region’s leading disruptive growth companies.”
