International investment bank DC Advisory has promoted two executives to head its newly structured global infrastructure franchise.
The new model brings together all the existing global geographical infrastructure services under a single platform, reporting directly into newly announced co-heads of global infrastructure Neale Marvin and Phillip Hyman.
According to the firm, the platform will seek to drive enhanced client opportunities, deliver consistency of award-winning client service and provide a single platform for accelerated growth, across Europe, the US and increasingly Asia.
Marvin and Hyman said: ‘This new structure ensures we continue our rigorous client-first approach for the future. As the Infrastructure group has grown, it’s important each client benefits from the exceptional body of talent within the group, wherever they are located.
‘It’s a privilege to drive this next phase of growth for the group together, and will be an important milestone for Daiwa’s continued investment into a critical and fast-moving sector.’
Richard Madden, European executive chairman, DC Advisory, added: ‘DC Advisory’s Infrastructure business has developed into a true market-leader.
‘The constantly evolving dynamics of Infrastructure, from the rise of sustainable energy to digital transformation, present huge opportunities for investors. The growth of our Infrastructure team is a clear reflection of the market-leading expertise and depth of knowledge we bring to clients globally.’
Hiroki Ikeda, deputy head of global investment banking, Daiwa Securities, said ‘We see Infrastructure as a key focus area and by enhancing our delivery model, we are positioning the firm to stay at the forefront of the industry and in the services we offer to clients.
‘This also positions DC Advisory’s Infrastructure business for its next phase of growth - making a difference to our international client base.’
