Boutique investment bank Greenhill & Co. has hired a new face to run its Canadian arm.
Steve Mayer, formerly a Goldman Sachs investment banker who ran the Canadian diversified industries group, is joining the firm as managing director and president of Greenhill Canada. Current Canadian head Brad Crompton becomes a senior adviser with the dealer.
Mr. Mayer spent about 10 years at Goldman, and before that he headed telecom, media and technology coverage for Bank of Nova Scotia's investment banking arm.
Although Greenhill is a boutique investment bank, it still has a global footprint with offices in cities such as New York, Sao Paulo, Singapore and Sydney. Canadians are likely to have heard the name lately in connection with Concordia Healthcare Corp., for whom Greenhill is trying to find a buyer.
Greenhill has been in Canada for a decade, having set up shop in Toronto 10 years ago.
