Bradley has over 25 years of investment banking experience, and joins Jefferies from The Blackstone Group, where he was a senior managing director and global head of Chemicals Investment Banking at Blackstone Advisory Partners.

Previously, he spent seven years at UBS as a managing director and global head of Chemicals Investment Banking, and prior to that spent 10 years at JP Morgan Chase in investment banking roles in London and New York, most recently as global head of Chemicals.

Jefferies global head of Investment Banking and Capital Markets Benjamin Lorello said the Industrials sector represents one of the largest businesses in investment banking and the hiring of David Bradley is part of the firm’s global strategy to significantly expand its investment banking presence in this sector.

"David is one of the most respected chemicals and industrials bankers globally, and his extensive relationship base, significant cross-border transaction experience and proven track record uniquely qualify him to build and lead this important business for Jefferies," Lorello said.
