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!

Matthieu Pigasse used to be Lazard's main rainmaker in France and Europe, and now joined CVP this year to lead the Paris team.
Would be interested to know if Jefferies has any rainmakers in Europe
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
Thanks for the great insight. In the US, I have heard that their Healthcare, LevFin, and Energy groups are excellent, would you say this translates to Europe (and more specifically, UK) as well? If not, which groups would you say are excellent there?
