JPMorgan Chase & Co. is hiring Haidee Lee from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as head of mergers and acquisitions within a new coverage group providing advice to strategic investors such as private equity firms and family offices.
Lee, who most recently worked in Goldman’s cross markets group focused on sell-side M&A, will be head of M&A for JPMorgan’s North America Strategic Investors Group, or SIG, according to a memo Wednesday. Created two weeks ago, the team consolidates investment-banking coverage teams such as financial sponsors, family coverage and a new special purpose acquisition company -- or SPAC -- coverage team under one umbrella, led by Avery Whidden, mirroring a similar effort rolled out in London in 2016.
