LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Spanish investment bank and
asset manager Alantra ALNTA.MC has hired former Credit Suisse
banker Patrick Porritt as managing director of financial
institution coverage, according to a memo seen by Reuters.
Porritt will be based in London and will be part of a
150-strong team of bankers in the Financial Institution Group
(FIG).
The Spanish company moved its investment bank headquarters
from Madrid to London last year to get a better access to
institutional capital and top talent from around the world,
according to the firm.
Alantra has also hired Pierre-Alain Rikkers from Teneo as
managing director to cover technology deals. Rikkers will be
based in New York and will join a team of 40 bankers across the
United States, Germany, France, Benelux countries, and
Scandinavia, according to the document.
Alantra employs 350 investment bankers, according to a
spokesperson.
