Briault-Hutter, who begins his role as Investment Manager with immediate effect, joins Equistone’s London office from corporate advisory firm Duff & Phelps where he held the position of Director. Before this, he worked as an Associate Director at DC Advisory (formerly Close Brothers Corporate Finance), where he focused on the consumer and travel sectors within the firm’s M&A team. Briault-Hutter holds a BA in Economics from the University of Manchester.
Briault-Hutter’s appointment follows the recent appointment of Hegglin to Equistone’s Zurich office, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year.
Hegglin, who joined the Company as an Associate last month, previously worked as an Associate at Credit Suisse where he spent four years in the Investment Banking division gaining professional experience in Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Markets. Prior to this, he worked at UBS Investment Bank and Helbling Corporate Finance in their Zurich offices. Hegglin holds an MA in Accounting and Finance as well as a BA in Business Administration from the University of St. Gallen.
Christiian Marriott, Investor Relations Partner at Equistone Partners Europe Limited, says: “We are extremely pleased to announce these new hires to our investment team; both Richard and Roman bring with them considerable transaction experience across a number of sectors which will support our activities in the UK and DACH regions in particular.
“We continue to see interesting deal opportunities across Europe and this further strengthening of our investment team positions the firm well to capitalise on this momentum.”
