Ciara will work with Jonathan Trower in the European Debt Advisory Group and will be the third Managing Director appointment in London this year, following the recruitment of Philipp Gutzwiller and Jeff Blue.
Ciara has 16 years’ experience in the leveraged finance market. She joins DC from Mizuho Bank where she was Head of the Leveraged Capital Markets Europe team from 2008.
Prior to joining Mizuho Bank, Ciara was a Managing Director in the Leveraged Capital Markets team at RBS where she was responsible for numerous high profile leveraged underwritings during the nine years she spent there.
Jonathan Trower, Managing Director at DC Advisory Partners, said:
“Ciara brings with her a wealth of experience and knowledge of the debt markets and I am much looking forward to working with her. She will arrive at a time when there is real momentum behind our debt advisory business. Across Europe this has been one of the busiest years we have ever had.”
Ciara O’Neill said:
“I’m delighted to be joining DC Advisory Partners. The debt markets remain complex and are increasingly uncertain, meaning clients are looking for the highest-quality independent advice; we are able to offer this.”
