Cowen Group has expanded its investment banking team with the addition of four managing directors.
They are Stephen Clarke, industrials; Zachary Fisher, technology, media and telecommunications (TMT); A. Scott Lemone, retail and consumer; and Prasad Parmeshwaran, healthcare M&A.
Clarke, Fisher and Lemone have also brought their existing book of mandates to be completed at Cowen and Company.
“Today’s announcement is a continuation of Cowen’s disciplined plan to expand its investment banking capabilities within our focus sectors,” says Kevin Raidy, head of investment banking. “Our new colleagues enhance our existing capabilities in industrials, TMT, consumer and health care. Stephen, Zach and Scott are highly experienced in counselling clients to achieve their unique goals, either through M&A or financing. Prasad is an accomplished banker specialising in health care M&A. These four professionals’ proven track record as trusted advisors to corporate executives and board members will be a natural complement to Cowen’s banking franchise.”
Cowen’s investment banking professionals bring tailored solutions and advice to corporate clients rather than leading with a product first approach.
Cowen has demonstrated expertise with growth companies in debt and equity capital raising as well as merger and equity stakes, cross-border transactions, shareholder activist situations and takeover defences.
Cowen’s core sectors include healthcare, TMT, information and technology services, consumer, industrials, energy and transportation.
