Morgan Joseph TriArtisan has appointed Stephen Robb, a 20-year Wall Street veteran in investment banking and M&A advisory, as a managing director in the firm’s consumer, retail and leisure investment banking practice.
“Steve’s broad background and experience will be a valuable addition to our firm’s mid-market practice in the key consumer, retail and restaurant sectors,” says Rohit Manocha, co-head of investment banking. “These are areas of mounting M&A and finance activity and, given his outstanding track record, having Steve on board will be highly beneficial to broadening our coverage, and serving our corporate constituents in these important sectors as well as our private equity client base.”
Robb, 44, was a managing director and head of the retail, consumer and restaurant investment banking group at Cantor Fitzgerald after leaving Credit Suisse, where he spent the majority of his career. At Credit Suisse, he last served as a senior coverage officer for retail companies and head of the restaurant practice within the consumer and retail group.
Prior to joining Credit Suisse’s consumer and retail group, Robb executed numerous transactions across many industries. Among others, these included the sale of AT&T Broadband to Comcast, the sale of GMH (DIRECTV) to News Corp., the IPO of Telstra, bond financings for the government of Trinidad & Tobago, and equity capital placements for LUKOIL. Robb has advised the government of Kazakhstan during its transition to independence from the Soviet Union and taught English in Seoul, South Korea.
