About Evercore
Founded in 1995 by Blackstone and U.S. Treasury veteran Roger Altman, independent investment banking advisory firm Evercore went public in August 2006 with an $83 million initial public offering. Since then, the firm has grown into an elite independent investment banking advisory firm, employing more than 2,200 people and serving clients around the world from its numerous offices in Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
The firm’s investment banking business advises clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, financings, public offerings, private placements, and other strategic transactions. It also provides institutional investors with equity research and sales and trading execution.
To date, the firm has advised on more than $4 trillion of merger, acquisition, recapitalization, and restructuring transactions.
Recent M&A assignments include advising Chevron on its $60 billion all-stock acquisition of Hess, advising WestRock on its $20 billion merger with Smurfit Kappa to create Smurfit WestRock, advising STORE Capital on its $14 billion sale to GIC and Oak Street, advising Bristol Myers Squibb on its up to $5.8 billion acquisition of Mirati, advising Campbell Soup Company on its $2.7 billion acquisition of Sovos Brands, acting as lead financial advisor to Blackstone on its $2.3 billion acquisition of Rover, and advising Adenza on its $10.5 billion sale to Nasdaq. The firm also offers investment management services to high-net-worth and institutional investors.
Evercore is led by John Weinberg, its CEO and chairman; Roger Altman, its founder and senior chairman; and Ralph Schlosstein, its chairman emeritus, who for almost 20 years served as the president of BlackRock, the largest asset management firm in the world, which he co-founded in 1988.
