BOSTON, Aug. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Capstone Partners, a leading
middle market investment banking firm, has announced a significant
appointment within its management team. Ken Wasik, Managing Director and Head of
Consumer Products Banking, will now also serve as Co-Head of
Investment Banking. With this role, Wasik will expand his
managerial scope to include oversight of all investment banking
activity across the firm, from deal origination to execution and
closing. Wasik will share the role with current Head of Investment
Banking, Paul Janson, effective
immediately.
With nearly 25 years of investment banking experience, Wasik has
been a key member of Capstone's management team since joining
the firm in the second half of 2020. He has been instrumental
in the growth of the firm's Consumer practice, helping drive a
total M&A transaction value of more than $2.8 billion in Consumer-industry transactions
since joining the firm. His expertise has been recognized and
highlighted by various industry outlets and organizations, most
recently IMAP, The New York Times, and
Pitchbook.
In his new position, Wasik will work closely with the firm's
standing Co-Head of Investment Banking, Paul Janson, to drive deal execution strategy
across the firm. Together, they will oversee all aspects of
investment banking operations and help guide strategy for the
firm's 12 industry groups and 5 service lines. This move is part of
the firm's ongoing efforts to optimize cohesion across teams and
provide an exceptional full-service experience to its clients,
partners, and staff.
"I am honored by this opportunity to help steer one of the
leading and most dynamic investment banks on Wall Street,"
commented Wasik. "I look forward to furthering Capstone's
collective goal of providing the most thoughtful, constructive
advice and execution for our clients, and the ideal career paths
and working environment for our employees. Working closely with
Paul Janson, one the most
accomplished Heads of Investment Banking on the Street, is truly a
privilege."
Janson, Co-Head of Investment Banking at Capstone, added, "Ken's
track record, coupled with his passion for this industry and
strength in organizational leadership, make him an exemplary fit
for this role. As the leader of one of Capstone's largest industry
banking groups, he has a deep understanding of the firm's strategy
and aligns well with its continued growth plans. We're confident
that this appointment will be extremely beneficial to both our
clients and the entire Capstone team."
