Macquarie Group has appointed James F. Frawley as a senior managing director and US head of mergers and acquisitions.
Frawley will join Macquarie from FBR, where he served as head of mergers and acquisitions and head of FBR’s New York investment banking office.
“I am delighted to welcome Jim to Macquarie,” says Rob Redmond, US head of Macquarie Capital, the firm’s corporate finance group. “Jim’s deep M&A expertise complement our already strong product offerings and will further help us to deliver holistic and customised solutions to our clients.”
Prior to joining FBR, Frawley was the co-founder of Legacy Partners Group, an independent investment banking firm that was acquired by FBR in 2007. Prior to Legacy, Frawley headed the mergers and acquisitions effort in the global chemicals sector at Credit Suisse First Boston. Frawley joined CSFB in November 2000 when CSFB acquired Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. At DLJ, Frawley had served in the firm’s exclusive sales group and was a senior vice president in the M&A group.
“I am really impressed by Macquarie’s growth, commitment and the quality of its people,” says Frawley. “Over the past few years, Macquarie has been in growth mode while many other firms have been contracting. I look forward to working with Rob, Michael and the Macquarie team to continue the momentum.”
