Houlihan Lokey IncHoulihan Lokey hired a senior MD to lead French sponsor coverage, expanding its European Financial Sponsors team.

Houlihan Lokey, the global investment bank, has appointed Jean-Baptiste Didier as a Managing Director in its Financial Sponsors Group, based in Paris, where he will lead financial sponsor coverage in France. Didier joins from Stifel, where he was Head of Healthcare Investment Banking France, and previously held senior roles at Citi, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley. His hire follows the additions of Managing Directors Martin Rezaie in Germany and Neil Price in the U.K. over the past year, part of the firm's broader expansion of its European Financial Sponsors team, which now includes more than 35 professionals across ten countries. The move builds on Houlihan Lokey's investment in France, including its acquisition of a controlling interest in Audere Partners earlier this year.
