High Profile IB MDs in Canada
Wondering if someone can shed some light on the best MDs currently operating in Canada. Also, acknowledging deal flow is the key component, what else makes a good MD?

Career Resources
hahaha the DON
Most of the heads of the BB/EBs in Toronto are pretty impressive (i.e. GS, MS, Evercore, Greenhill, Lazard, etc.) - mostly previous rainmakers from BB backgrounds. Not sure about Big 5 as you can't really find a lot of information on their MDs
CIBC’s TMT MD, Brent Layton, has been across many banks (Cannacord, National, etc.). Like above, you won’t really hear abt them unless you know them..
Does having MD experience across multiple banks indicate that they are good? On one hand, they could be well sought after, but on the other, it could be that they were let go.
Not a MD but the CEO of RBC Dave Mckay has an impressive record and his path to the top is motivational. RBC is making good headlines and getting better each year so it seems he has a formula that is working well.
Sir this is wendy's
Dave Mckay came from retail banking, and has never worked in Investment banking. He worked in: commercial banking, risk management, and corporate banking.
RBC's head of TMT Alex Graham, is a solid performer who was the head of Euro ECM for Solomon before going to NYC to head another ECM group for Citi. Solid performer for RBC who is generally near the top of the Canadian league tables.
