NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Oppenheimer& Co. Inc., a leading investment bank,
wealth manager, and a subsidiary of Oppenheimer Holdings (NYSE:
OPY), today announced the continued build-out of its Global
Consumer Investment Banking Group with the appointment of
Jean-Marie Gianni as a Managing
Director, based in New York. Mr.
Gianni will report to Emmanuel
Durand, Global Head of Consumer Investment Banking, and
Rita Dagdelen-Keskinyan, Head of
North America Consumer Investment Banking.
Mrs. Dagdelen-Keskinyan said, "We are very pleased and excited
to welcome Jean-Marie to our Global Consumer Investment Banking
team. Jean-Marie's respected industry insight, experience and
well-established relationships in the Health & Beauty /
Personal Care consumer segments will complement and enhance the
growth of our broader Consumer coverage into optimal adjacencies,
including health and wellness-focused food & beverage and
cannabis / CBD coverage in North
America. Jean-Marie will also help us further our
penetration in these new segments on a cross-border basis,
specifically in the UK and Europe."
Along with the addition of Managing Director James Murray to Oppenheimer's Global Consumer
Investment Banking team in London
last November, today's announcement demonstrates the firm's ongoing
commitment to building its Consumer group through selective hiring
of senior banking talent. Mr. Gianni and the other members of the
Group will work in concert with Oppenheimer's leading middle-market
M&A and equity capital markets capabilities while also
leveraging the strengths of the firm's equity research platform to
drive continued growth in the consumer segment.
Mr. Gianni joins Oppenheimer with over 15 years of experience in
providing strategic advice to an extensive range of clients in both
the Health & Beauty and Personal Care markets. He will be
primarily focused on the North American market while also working
closely with Oppenheimer's Consumer Investment Banking team in
London to expand Oppenheimer's
coverage in this segment.
Mr. Gianni started his investment banking career at Lazard in
Paris and New York and continued subsequently at Moelis
& Co., where he was a senior member of the firm's Health &
Beauty and Personal Care advisory practice. He has advised on over
$50 billion worth of closed
transactions, representing private and public companies,
entrepreneurs and private equity clients.
Oppenheimer's ongoing, focused expansion of its senior
investment banking leadership and expertise across key industries
and sectors, coupled with continual investment in its leading
equity research capabilities, has been one of the primary drivers
of the firm's record-setting investment banking results over the
past two years. Full-year investment banking revenue of
$222.3 million for 2020 increased 76%
over 2019, while the division's revenue increased 219% through the
first half of 2021 versus the same period in 2020, to $229.2 million.
Mrs. Dagdelen-Keskinyan concluded, "Oppenheimer is committed to
the continued expansion of its global investment banking
capabilities and to servicing the needs of its corporate and
private equity clients by providing seamless coverage across the
globe. We welcome Jean-Marie to the team, and we look forward to
driving continued success in the years ahead."
