July 8 (Reuters) – has hired veteran banker Michael Flynn to lead a newly created banking business, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
Flynn joins as head of small-cap investment banking, which expands the bank’s existing mid-cap franchise to cover clients in commercial and specialized industries with enterprise values of roughly $100 million to $500 million.
Wall Street’s biggest banks expect 2026 to be a strong year for dealmaking, driving investment in new teams and broader client coverage.
Flynn, who has over 25 years of experience in investment banking, corporate development and private equity, joins from G2 Capital Advisors, where he was a managing director. He will be based in New York.
The new team will also include Arash Farin, who joined as a managing director in Los Angeles from Centerstone Capital, and Jamie Eastham as executive director.
The small-cap investment unit will operate from hubs in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York.
It will initially focus on diversified industries, consumer and retail, and business services.
