Man Stevens joins Deloitte’s Company Finance Advisory enterprise
Deloitte has added Guy Stevens to its Financial Institutions Group to build on last year’s strong momentum. The new partner brings more than two decades of experience to the role and has held similar positions at some of the world’s largest investment banks.
Commenting on his new role, Guy Stevens said, “I am delighted to be joining an impressive team at the Financial Institutions Group (FIG) that is rapidly building a reputation for providing clients with in-depth analytical advice. Deloitte is well positioned to provide strategic solutions to the industry during a trial period. I expect to work closely with my colleagues to develop our customer relationships across EMEA. “
Stevens joins Deloitte as a partner in the Big Four’s corporate finance advisory business. As part of the FIG team, he will focus on improving relationships with a number of Deloitte’s key banking and insurance clients across EMEA.
To fulfill this role, Stevens can draw on more than 20 years of experience in the investment banking industry, most recently at UBS. During his time at the financial institution, he was managing director and head of UIG’s own FIG business for Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and for large-cap banks in the UK and Western Europe. Before that, he also held leading FIG positions at Citigroup and Rothschild & Co.
Deloitte built its FIG team under Jonathan Gold, Head of FIG Corporate Finance Advisory. According to him, the team is now aiming to continue investing in the business later this year and providing first class service to its clients in terms of M&A, loan portfolio solutions and balance sheet advice.
Gold, who is also a partner with Deloitte, added, “I look forward to working with Guy to build on our strong financial services momentum to new and existing financial services clients. “
The move comes at a time when large asset managers and banks in Europe are facing greater pressure to consolidate. For example, when the coronavirus pandemic sparked renewed interest in bank consolidation across Europe, it was reported late last year that a mega-merger could result in UBS and Credit Suisse merging in a way that would allow them to thrive in a future economic recovery booming.
