Greentech Capital Advisors, the alternative energy and cleantech-focused investment bank, has hired Deutsche Bank’s Heather Smith as a partner to launch the firm’s private placements group.
At Deutsche Bank, as head of structured private placements, Smith raised over $9 billion in equity and mezzanine capital for domestic and international companies, including renewable energy and biofuel companies.
Smith has also worked with the private placement groups of Credit Suisse and Prudential Securities.
In a prepared statement Greentech Capital founder and managing director, Jeffrey McDermott said:
Many of our alternative energy and cleantech corporate clients need to raise private equity and mezzanine funding to continue to grow. Heather provides our clients with the private placement capabilities they need.
Smith starts work at Greentech Capital next month.
