Boutique resource investment bank Casimir Capital has made four new hires and expanded its footprint into Europe.

The new hires are Karen Mate in equity sales, who spent 15 years at Scotia Capital; research analysts Stuart McDougall and Eric Winmill, who previously worked at places like National Bank Financial, GMP Securities and Wellington West; and Charles Vaughan, who will head up the new London office.

Casimir’s expansion into Europe puts it on four continents, and the new London office will serve as a marketing hub.
