Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has formally named banker Ian Taylor the head of equity capital markets (ECM) for Canada.
Mr. Taylor is tasked with driving engagement between Goldman's Canadian issuer clients, its sector-focused ECM teams and its investing clients in Canada, the United States and around the world, the bank said in a memo on Thursday.
In addition to these duties, Mr. Taylor will continue to lead Goldman's real estate, lodging and gaming business for the Americas. He will split his time between Canada and the United States, but will be based in New York.
The move is the latest of several for Goldman's Canadian operation over the past few months. In December, the bank appointed Jason Rowe to be chief executive officer in the country and, earlier this month, named Luke Gordon the head of Canadian mergers and acquisitions.
Before this appointment, Mr. Taylor was the head of ECM in Latin America, excluding Brazil, and has held positions in ECM in Australia and Asia, excluding Japan. He joined Goldman in 2000 and was named managing director in 2015.
