NEW YORK (Reuters) -UBS hired Taylor Henricks as its head of mergers and acquisitions in the Americas as it seeks to expand investment banking in the U.S., according to a memo seen by Reuters.
Henricks will also serve as UBS’ head of technology M&A after holding a similar role at Morgan Stanley. The executive will start at the Swiss bank in October and be based in Menlo Park, California. He will report to Jeff Hinton, the global co-head of corporate and sponsor advisory at UBS Investment Bank.
Since taking over collapsed rival Credit Suisse in 2023, UBS has made a push to grow in U.S. investment banking, a lucrative market in which American lenders are the biggest players.
“As we continue to make long-term investments in our Americas franchise to expand our footprint, enhance our product offering, and pivot towards high growth sectors, we are confident that Taylor’s expertise will allow us to capture even greater market share in this strategically important region,” Hinton wrote in the memo.
UBS has hired senior U.S. bankers in leveraged finance, healthcare and technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) in recent months, while also promoting new leaders in its groups focused on financial institutions, corporate sponsors and advisory.
Below is a list of senior UBS hires since March, who are all based in New York unless otherwise specified, according to a company spokesperson:
