Lea Lazaric Calvert joins Evercore as MD in Private Capital Advisory Group

Lea Lazaric Calvert has agreed to join Evercore’s Private Capital Advisory business (PCA) as a Managing Director. Lazaric Calvert will be based in London where she will focus on advising leading financial institutional investors and fund sponsors on secondary transactions. 

Lazaric Calvert, who will join Evercore in July, was most recently an Executive Director at UBS where she was a member of the Private Funds Group, responsible for the coverage of a number of institutional investors in countries including the UK, Germany and Switzerland. Lazaric Calvert has extensive fund placement experience, having advised a number of leading private equity general partners globally.  Prior to joining UBS's Private Funds Group, she worked in UBS's Equity Capital Markets Division in London. Lazaric Calvert holds an MBA from INSEAD and a Bachelor of Science from the London School of Economics.

Nicolas Lanel, European Head of PCA, says: "We have long promoted the view to GPs that a supportive attitude towards the secondary market is a key part of a good investor relations function.  Today, we see a lasting opportunity for GPs to proactively utilise the secondary markets as an effective fund raising tool and we therefore encourage our clients to embrace these markets as part of their overall capital raising strategy." 

Richard Anthony, Global Head of Evercore's Private Funds Group, adds: "Beyond her strong network of LP relationships, Lea's wealth of experience advising GPs on fund raises will further build on Evercore's Private Capital Advisory and Private Funds Group ability to seamlessly deliver a high quality secondary and placement advisory service to both LPs and GPs. We are delighted to see her join the Firm as a senior member of our world-class Private Capital Advisory team."
