Evercore (NYSE: EVR) announced today that Juan Pedro Pérez Cózar
has joined the firm as a Senior Managing Director and Head of its
advisory business in Iberia. Based in Madrid, he will focus on
advising clients across a broad range of sectors on M&A and
capital advisory transactions in Spain and Portugal.
Mr. Pérez Cózar has 23 years of industry experience and joins
Evercore from Rothschild, where he was a Managing Director in its
advisory business focused on Spanish client coverage. Mr. Pérez
Cózar joined Rothschild in May 2008 after seven years at Dresdner
Kleinwort Wasserstein, where he was responsible for Iberian client
coverage. He has advised on approximately 100 transactions in the
Iberian market, predominantly M&A, but also more than 40 equity
capital market deals (mainly IPOs and secondary disposals) and debt
advisory transactions. Among recent transactions, Mr. Pérez Cózar
advised on the partial disposal of Cepsa to Carlyle, the
acquisition of Areas by PAI, the acquisition of ITP by Rolls Royce
and more than 20 private equity deals in the Iberian market. He
also advised on the c. €44bn acquisition of Endesa by Enel – the
largest ever Spanish cross border deal.
Mr. Pérez Cózar will take on the leadership of Evercore’s
successful Madrid-based team. He will be joined by two additional
senior hires, Gorka Irigoyen and Josemaría Beltrán, both of whom
were previously Directors with Rothschild in Madrid. Additional new
hires are planned over the coming months to build out the team.
Gustavo Montes will remain an integral part of Evercore’s team in
Madrid and will continue to focus on the Utilities and
Infrastructure sectors.
Ralph Schlosstein, Evercore’s Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive
Officer, said, “We are delighted to welcome Juan Pedro to Evercore.
His client focus, leadership skills and deep experience in advising
corporate and sponsor clients on a broad range of M&A and
capital advisory transactions make him the ideal person to take on
the leadership of our advisory business in Iberia. This is a very
important hire for the firm as we look to grow our business in
Europe.”
John Weinberg, Evercore’s Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive
Officer, added, “We have enjoyed considerable success in the
Iberian market over recent years in a range of industries such as
Technology, Paper & Packaging and Hospitality, in addition to
the efforts of our Madrid-based team who focus on the Utilities and
Infrastructure sector. The addition of Juan Pedro, Gorka and
Josemaría will further strengthen our local capabilities, adding
deep expertise in equity capital markets and debt advisory in
addition to an array of M&A experience across a broad range of
sectors.”
Mr. Pérez Cózar said, “I am excited to join Evercore and be part
of the firm’s expansion of its advisory business in Europe. I look
forward to working with a team of highly entrepreneurial
individuals and to serving Spanish and Portuguese clients with a
fresh perspective that leverages both strong local knowledge and
superior industry expertise. I am proud to be a part of Evercore
and its focused expansion in Europe.”
Mr Pérez Cózar received a degree in Business Administration from
