“Adding an advisor of Brian’s calibre to our growing team in London further demonstrates our long-term ambitions for Stephens in Europe,” Brad Eichler, Executive Vice President and head of Stephens Investment Banking group, comments. “With his extensive experience, Brian further strengthens Stephens transatlantic value proposition in this important services sector.”
Robertson adds: “Stephens has built a first class reputation as a trusted advisor with integrity and a focus on long-term relationships. With its deep relationships across the private capital ecosystem Stephens is positioned exceptionally well to offer tailored solutions to complex situations. It is a compelling proposition that clients can trust and I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued growth.”
