Baird Adds Nathan True-Daniels to Financial Sponsors Group
LOS ANGELES, October 15, 2024 – Baird, an employee-owned, international financial services firm, announced today that Nathan True-Daniels has joined the firm’s Global Investment Banking business as a Managing Director in its Global Financial Sponsors Group (FSG). True-Daniels, who will be based in Los Angeles, will work closely with Baird’s industry and product teams to complement and expand Baird’s existing support for financial sponsors.
True-Daniels joins from Barclays where he covered a number of financial sponsor and corporate clients, having led and executed a variety of M&A, IPO, structured equity and financing transactions. True-Daniels received a bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University, and an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
“We are pleased to welcome Nathan to our Global Financial Sponsors practice,” said Les Cheek, Head of Baird’s Global Financial Sponsors Group. “His addition to our team further enhances our differentiated model as the global financial sponsor community grows in scale and complexity and strengthens our coverage particularly on the West Coast of the United States.”
Baird continues to make significant investments in and realize success through its full spectrum coverage of sponsor players, including private equity funds, family offices, government pension plans and sovereign wealth funds. True-Daniels is the third Managing Director to join the FSG practice this year, following the recent additions of Will Morton and Giles Corner in London, where Baird’s sponsor coverage in Europe has been steadily growing. The FSG practice has unique insight into current sponsor appetite, backed by the deep expertise of industry bankers specializing in nearly 50 verticals and equity research of more than 700 public names.
