SMD at Evercore Adam Taetle resigns after affair with junior banker

Rumors confirmed. This guy is head of consumer at Lazard now.

A top Wall Street dealmaker left an elite New York investment bank after his bosses found out he allegedly had an affair with a younger co-worker on his team, The Post has learned.

Adam Taetle stepped down as senior managing director at Evercore — the firm founded by deep-pocketed Democratic Party operative Roger Altman — following an HR probe into the relationship, four sources close to the situation told The Post.

The reportedly randy rainmaker — a married father of three — exited the firm amid claims of “having a sexual relationship with a female junior employee on his team,” one source said.

I don't understand why they felt it was relevant to include the founder's political affiliation but I guess it's an election year. Feel bad for this MD's family.
