Rainmaker MDs in London

I recently saw a thread talking about who are the top senior bankers in IB in the US, but I think it would be interesting to know who are those at the top of the game in Europe. Anyone have any insights? Thanks!

Unfortunately, Gleacher have not been as active in recent years as they previously were. FN London published a list recently, but I don't believe this is too accurate:

Below is in no ways exhaustive but it's a few of the most common names that always appears on offer docs. Excludes a few banks where I'm not too sure 

GS: Anthony Gutman, Nick Harper, Mark Sorrell, Karen Cook

MS: David Kitterick, Laurence Hopkins, Ben Grindley 

JPM: Dwayne Lysaght, James Robinson, Conor Hillery

BAML: Julian Mylchreest, Luca Ferrari, Eamon Brabazonn, Giorgio Cocini

Citi: Andrew Seaton 

PWP: Dietrich Becker 

PJT: Basil Geoghan, Simon Lyons

Evercore: Joe chambers, Andrew Sibbald, Simon Elliott, Nick Chapman

Think the key guy here is Philip Noblet (Head of UK&I), as far as I know he previously led EMEA M&A at HSBC and BAML. UK / Cap markets team had a good years and advised on convert for Delivery Hero, listing of Hut Group and were supposed to have stepped up more than GS and MS on a rights issue for Rolls Royce 

Dominic Lester used to head their TMT practice, which is very strong and now is head of EMEA IB. Tommy Erdei leads their healthcare in EMEA
