PJT Partners Inc has hired Bank of America Corp (BofA) dealmaker Antonin Baladi to build up its European technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) investment banking business, people familiar with the matter said.
The London-based banker is joining PJT in a senior role, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Baladi, who was Bank of America’s head of media and internet investment banking for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, had been with the firm since 2010, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Representatives for Bank of America and New York-based PJT declined to comment.
PJT’s founder Paul J Taubman has long been one of Wall Street’s top telecom and media dealmakers and has been on a hiring spree since taking his boutique advisory firm public in 2015. He has added several healthcare-focussed partners, poached a top initial public offerings banker from UBS Group AG and last year hired David Perdue from Goldman Sachs Group Inc to work on private equity deals.
Below the partner level, PJT has hired more than 30 advisory professionals this year.
