With the trading boom in the Nordic region, some investment banks from Evercore Inc. to Lazard Inc. have been poaching talent in the area in an attempt to snatch market share from local competitors. Evercore hired Lars Ingemarsson, former head of investment banking for Citigroup in the Nordic region, last month to lead its new office in Stockholm and build a team of 15 bankers. Lazard recruited Jesper Jensen, who has worked at Rothschild for the past decade, to open a new office in Copenhagen. The co-head of investment banking for Europe at Lazard, Jean-Louis Girodolle, said they are building a team of five to six people there. In addition, Thomas Westin recently joined PJT Partners Inc. from Goldman Sachs to build a team in Stockholm. Rothschild also poached Miro Hemanus from DNB Carnegie Holding AB this month, breaking into Helsinki.
