US-based financial services group Raymond James has expanded its investment banking capabilities by hiring Jonathan Tyler as a managing director for chemicals in the firm’s diversified industrials practice.
Based in Munich, Tyler will partner with Monish Thawani in Atlanta to lead the firm’s global chemicals coverage.
With more than 30 years of international finance and deals experience in the chemicals sector, Tyler advises public and private companies as well as private equity firms on M&A, IPOs, restructurings and capital raises.
His recent focus on emission reduction technologies complements a broad track record that spans specialty chemicals products, cosmetic and food ingredients, agrochemicals, industrial gases and commodity chemicals.
“Jonathan brings a unique blend of industry insight and global perspective to our Diversified Industrials practice,” said Allan Bertie, head of European Investment Banking.
“His experience in the chemicals sector and client-first approach reflect our commitment to delivering thoughtful and tailored advice. Together with Monish, their leadership will drive our continued expansion and deepen the value we deliver to clients in this critical industry.”
Tyler joins Raymond James from Chemical Axis and held previous investment banking roles at Perella Weinberg and Houlihan Lokey. He began his career as a chemicals equity research analyst at Goldman Sachs and UBS. He holds a degree in chemistry from Imperial College and later graduated from the London Business School.
