There is an MD at Barclays directly related to Teddy Roosevelt (great-grandson) -- named Theodore Roosevelt. Think he's in P&U. Seems to do well for himself

 

Grimes is legendary for his antics. Word around the street was that as part of his pitch to win the Uber mandate he signed up to be a driver, and gave some absurd number of rides in the year leading up to the bakeoff in order to "show how much he cared about and understood their business". Couple other funny stories I've heard floating around that are a little less plausible though hilarious if true.

 

Aryeh Bourkhoff at LionTree runs a one-man show. Legitimately believe he's the highest profile advisor in Media / Telecom M&A – that $39bn Liberty Global deal breaking today was all him. Have to question the rationale behind some deals – ViacomCBS seems to me the media equivalent of Deutsche / CoBa – but huge respect for what he has built.

Can't recommend his https://www.liontree.com/-/media/LTSaberTooth/YearEnd/LionTree-2019-Yea…</a">year-end letter enough for anyone remotely interested in media and strategy.

 

Are you aware of the blunder his team made when he was at First Boston, that lead to him being pushed out of the firm? The valuation model his team used to value the target form was wrong. Cost the firm 210 Mn USD (660 instead of 450Mn), in late 70s.

I'm not, but would enjoy reading about it if you have a link
