Baird expands healthcare and European investment banking coverage with Di Nicola appointment

Baird has expanded its global Healthcare Investment Banking coverage and European Investment Banking group with the appointment of Vincenzo Di Nicola (pictured) as a Managing Director in London.

In his new role, Di Nicola will lead Baird’s European Healthcare Investment Banking practice and be responsible for expanding sector coverage in Europe.
 
Di Nicola was most recently Co-Head of UK Healthcare Investment Banking at DC Advisory in London where he led several high profile deals in the med-tech, pharma and healthcare services spaces. Before DC Advisory, he was Vice President of Healthcare Investment Banking at RBS/ABN AMRO Corporate Finance and an Associate at Vitale & Associati in Milan. He earned a Masters in Finance from the London Business School, a Masters in International Finance and Management from the University of Business Administration, Vienna and a Bachelor degree from the University of Economics, Naples.
 
Di Nicola’s appointment illustrates the ongoing growth and success of Baird’s global Healthcare platform and its European Investment Banking business. The firm’s comprehensive Healthcare platform includes:
 
• A global investment banking team that has completed over USD16 billion in aggregate transaction value since 2007;
 
• Six senior Research Analysts covering more than 90 Healthcare companies, worth USD1.2 trillion in market capitalisation; and
 
• A dedicated Healthcare trading team that makes a market in nearly 300 Healthcare stocks and Institutional Equity Sales specialists who work with Healthcare-focused funds across North America and Europe.
 
Di Nicola is the second senior addition to Baird’s European Investment Banking team in the past few weeks. On 9 July, Baird announced that Julien Darmon had rejoined the firm as a Managing Director, focusing on the Industrial sector. The talent additions to the European team reflect the firm’s continued success in the marketplace.
 
“We are very pleased that Vincenzo has decided to continue his investment banking career at Baird and are thrilled to enhance our European healthcare coverage with his appointment,” says David Silver, Head of Baird European Investment Banking. “Vincenzo has established a long, successful track record serving Healthcare clients. We look forward to integrating his respected industry expertise to expand our global Healthcare platform and our European Banking team, which will enhance our offering to clients globally.”
 
“For Baird’s Global Investment Banking business, Europe represents a tremendous opportunity, and Healthcare is a major part of that growth proposition,” says Silver. “We will continue to invest in top talent and expand coverage in key sectors to be able to provide our clients with deep industry expertise and transaction execution that they have come to know and expect from Baird.”
