RBC Capital Markets has named Blair Fleming head of US investment banking, based in New York.
Fleming will oversee RBC Capital Markets’ investment banking businesses in the US, which includes corporate finance industry groups, mergers and acquisitions, leveraged finance and restructuring.
Throughout his 20-plus year career with RBC, Fleming has held numerous senior roles in the firm’s global investment banking and global debt markets businesses, including his most recent responsibilities as the head of global syndicated and leveraged finance and global infrastructure.
"Blair’s long career with RBC, diverse business background and deep client relationships make him a natural fit to lead our US investment banking business," says Doug Guzman, RBC Capital Markets’ head of global investment banking. "Blair’s proven track record of success spans across his senior managerial, coverage and transaction responsibilities. His leadership has been instrumental to the growth of our platform."
Fleming will lead RBC’s expanding US investment banking platform. In the past year, RBC Capital Markets has hired more than 100 senior professionals. Recently, more than a dozen senior investment bankers have joined RBC’s US investment banking platform to bolster various industry and product groups including real estate, financial institutions, consumer, healthcare, technology, financial sponsors and leveraged finance. The firm has also recently formed new aerospace and defence, restructuring and transportation groups in the US.
