Equity Advisory Partner – Germany

A leading global communications consultancy sought to enhance its equity advisory capabilities in Germany, aiming to strengthen its position in a key European market. The brief required a seasoned capital markets professional capable of transitioning into a strategic advisory role, engaging with board-level stakeholders at major multinational corporations.

McLean was retained to identify a candidate with deep capital markets expertise, proven relationship-building skills, and the ability to secure and deliver complex advisory mandates. The ideal individual would be adept at moving from a research or investment background into a consultative environment.

Our targeted search spanned equity research, investment banking and asset management. The successful candidate, previously in a U.S.-based capital markets role, brought a unique blend of consulting and corporate experience prior to their time in capital markets—making them exceptionally well-suited to the role.
