Veteran Dealmaker Meissner Quits Trott’s Boutique After One Year

Veteran investment banker Christian Meissner is leaving BDT & MSD Partners about a year after joining the advisory and private equity firm run by two former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. bankers, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Meissner, who previously ran Credit Suisse’s investment bank, joined the firm run by Byron Trott and Gregg Lemkau last May in what was seen as a comeback after a tough period with the rescued Swiss lender. He quit recently after disagreements over the firm’s European expansion plans, said the people, asking not to be identified as the information is confidential.
