Raymond James continues growth of consumer investment banking practice, hiring Managing Director ChanChan Wang

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James has expanded its investment banking capabilities with the hiring of ChanChan Wang as a managing director on the European Advisory team. Wang joins the Global Consumer Team with a specialty focus on the food & beverage and pet industries. She is based in London.

Wang joins a team of 75 Consumer-focused investment bankers based in offices across the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. Following the Raymond James acquisition of Financo in 2020, the Consumer team has continued to add senior talent across its advisory, ECM and Equity Research practices. She is the third senior hire into the food & beverage practice in the last 18 months.

“We are thrilled to announce the addition of ChanChan to our team. I believe she will significantly enhance our global food & beverage practice, which now consists of 11 senior professionals,” said John Berg, global head of Consumer Investment Banking. “ChanChan's extensive experience in high-profile deals for both private equity and strategic companies, as well as the cross-border nature of her deals, makes this a particularly exciting development for Raymond James.”

Wang has 16 years of corporate finance experience and joins Raymond James from Houlihan Lokey, where she spent the last nine years as a senior member of the food & beverage team. She joined Houlihan via its acquisition of McQueen Limited in 2015 and began her investment banking career at HSBC. She holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Cambridge.

“Hiring ChanChan represents our continued commitment to strategic growth in key sectors,” said Allan Bertie, head of European Investment Banking. “Our Consumer team has seen significant growth in recent years through several thoughtful additions and we’re confident that ChanChan will further expand on our success. She’s a highly-regarded professional with strong private equity experience who will help deliver actionable ideas and enhanced insights to that key client group.”

“I am thrilled to be joining Raymond James at such an exciting time and to be joining a team with such strong momentum in the European consumer market,” said Wang. “I look forward to leveraging our strong global platform to drive further growth and continue delivering exceptional value for our clients.”
