Henricks Joins UBS as Head of M&A in Americas to Boost Expansion

In a strategic move to enhance its investment banking presence in the United States, UBS has appointed Taylor Henricks as the head of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) for the Americas. Henricks, who previously held a similar role at Morgan Stanley, is set to join the Swiss bank in October and will operate from Menlo Park, California. This appointment comes as part of UBS's broader strategy to establish a stronger foothold in the U.S. market following its acquisition of Credit Suisse in 2023. The bank has been actively recruiting senior bankers across various sectors including leveraged finance, healthcare, and technology, media, and telecommunications. UBS aims to capitalize on high-growth sectors and increase its market share in this strategically important region. Henricks will also oversee technology M&A, reporting to Jeff Hinton, the global co-head of corporate and sponsor advisory at UBS Investment Bank. The appointment is part of a larger hiring trend where UBS has been filling key positions in its American and EMEA markets.
