Perella Weinberg Partners has added Jérôme Brassart as a managing director in its Advisory business. Brassart will lead the firm’s Utilities and Infrastructure Sector effort within PWP’s Industrials team.

He will join the Firm in January 2019 and will be based in London.

This is PWP’s fourth European hire in six months, following the appointments of Alex Wilmot-Sitwell (Partner, London), Matthew Smith (Partner, London) and Cyrille Perard (Managing Director, Paris).

Brassart has extensive utilities and infrastructure advisory experience, leading a broad range of merger and acquisition assignments, including several international landmark transactions. He joins PWP from Credit Suisse, where he most recently served as a managing director in the Power, Utilities and Infrastructure Group. Prior to that, he was an associate on the Power, Utilities and Infrastructure Team at NM Rothschild & Sons in London from 2007 to 2009. Brassart started his career at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.

Dietrich Becker, partner and head of European Advisory at PWP, said, “We are very pleased to welcome Jérôme to our team. He joins PWP at an exciting moment as we accelerate the growth of our European footprint and build on important recent investments in the French market, including the opening of a new office. Jerome’s addition underscores this objective and reinforces our commitment to delivering deep industry, product and technical expertise to our clients.”
