ANATOMY OF A BUILDOUT
DES is uniquely positioned in Canada as the only senior-level boutique search firm dedicated to financial services and asset management, with an exceptional track record of building teams across Toronto, Montreal & Calgary. We also advise clients in New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Since 2017, our team has advised Canadian bank-owned dealers, global investment banks, US advisory firms, managements consultancies and independent boutiques on the buildout of their IB teams. This has involved more than 40 IB searches, bringing together a range of industry-leading capabilities in the hotly-contested banking marketplace. A sample of our recently closed searches is presented here, with several more “live”, soon to be announced.
