Japanese bank DC Advisory has hired a second former Citigroup dealmaker for its technology team as it continues its recent hiring spree.
Marina Kvasnikova has joined DC Advisory as a director within its technology and software investment banking team in London. She left Citigroup’s fintech dealmaking team in December.
Kvasnikova joins Mark Litz, Citigroup’s former head of fintech investment banking in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, who signed up to DC Advisory as a managing director in July. She spent around 12 years at the US bank.
Piers Davison, a former JPMorgan banker who co-headed Citigroup’s financial institutions group in Emea, left around the same time as Litz and Kvasnikova and has yet to re-emerge in a new role.
The Japanese bank has hired 27 senior bankers over the past two years and its technology and software team now has 20 managing directors globally and a team of more than 70 bankers in total.
Kvasnikova will focus on the fintech sector at DC Advisory and has advised clients including Banking Circle, Handelsbanken and Wise during her career.
