NEW YORK, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Middlemarch
Partners, a New York-based
merchant banking firm, is pleased to announce it has expanded its
team of experienced financial and business services professionals
with the appointment of Andrew
Marquardt and Alex Kim as
Partners.
Over the past three years, Middlemarch has completed in excess
of $140M of transactions in financial
services-related companies as either an advisor or investor across
Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. The decision to add additional
partners supports the firm's global expansion to meet demand
created by the rapid growth in its international advisory and
principal investment business.
"Our firm's focus on tech-enabled financial and business
services has allowed us to develop vertical expertise for companies
globally. Given our successful track record supporting U.S.-based
financial and business services clients source debt and equity,
non-U.S. companies have sought out our counsel to help secure
global capital to help them expand within their markets, which we
have done successfully. Additionally, both institutional and family
office investors in Europe and
Asia have also shown interest in
U.S. investments, and we have been successful in introducing them
to our transactions," said Demetris
Papademetriou, a co-founder of Middlemarch Capital
Partners.
As a Partner at Middlemarch, Mr. Kim will lead the firm's
efforts in Asia, with a focus on
sourcing both companies seeking merchant banking advisory services
and investors for Middlemarch clients. He will leverage his
long-standing relationships with leading institutions and emerging
growth companies that will benefit from an association with
Middlemarch Partners. Mr. Kim's prior experiences include strategic
consulting firm McKinsey & Company, venture capital firm First
Analysis Venture Capital, and investment bank DLJ.
Mr. Marquardt joins Middlemarch with a focus on fintech and
technology-enabled financial services. He brings deep expertise
working with leading financial institutions on issues of business
strategy, balance sheet matters, risk, and M&A. Mr. Marquardt
has over 20 years' experience across corporate advisory, equity
research, and regulation focused on financial services ranging from
global universal banking institutions to early-stage/venture and
growth/private equity stage fintech companies. Prior to
joining Middlemarch, he held senior leadership positions at
BlackRock and Evercore Partners.
"We are delighted to have Andrew and Alex join our team as
partners. Andrew's extensive experience and understanding of how
financial services firms are evolving and where fintech companies
can deliver the greatest impact, both in the U.S. and abroad, will
enhance Middlemarch's deep domain expertise," said Sasha Grutman, a co-founder of Middlemarch
Partners. "We have confidence in Alex's experience as a banker,
venture investor, and strategic advisor to investors and
fast-growing companies in Asia.
Our association with him is already paying off with new client
engagements and increased contact with the family office and
institutional investor community in Asia."
