dude founded Moelis and you got the gall to comment on his name
A Moelis co-founder? That's it? He is one of Ken's lackies? How mid.
/s
pretty sure ken moelis founded moelis bud, why dont you try to use some critical thinking you hopefully picked up in your mumbai high school?
Why do BB M&A MDs get credit for execution when coverage has the relationships to make it rain?
Naveen is actually a psychopath so I believe it lol
His son interviewed at my BB this cycle…
he got a great offer lol
yea he's going to CVP
was he sharp or nepo hire
Wait a minute you can't leave us on a cliffhanger like that pls expand
explain
why
elaborate
no way to elaborate without doxxing myself, just have to be on NY tech to get it man.
Where’s the UBS rainmakers?
Marco is too good he has his own separate list
crazy that two of my friends i met through college/mutuals have parents on this list lol
Gary Posternack quietly generating half of Barclays US revenue is insane
Is xavier loriferne an actual rainmaker? Seems out of place
Surprised Tokat isn’t higher
Are you sure this list is accurate I don't see my MD or the others from UBS on here? We almost closed so many deals last year.
Congrats on Wells!
how does anyone get into Klein?
Go to a target
Where is Marco Valla
