LONDON, Sept. 11, 2025 – Baird, an employee-owned, international financial services firm, announced today that Thomas Fetzer and Pat Guerin have been appointed as Co-Heads of European Investment Banking.
In their new roles, Fetzer and Guerin will continue to provide banking coverage and execution within their respective areas of expertise. Alongside these current responsibilities, they will be responsible for leading key strategic initiatives across Baird’s European sector teams and offices, further accelerating ongoing growth efforts and adding additional industry and product bankers to expand the businesses' capabilities and reach.
Currently a Frankfurt-based Managing Director in Baird’s Global Industrial Investment Banking Group and Head of DACH Investment Banking, Thomas Fetzer will leverage his experience to support both existing operations and the expanded mandate.
Based in London, Pat Guerin currently serves as Baird's Co-Head of Global Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and will retain that role going forward.
Five years ago, we implemented a global group structure that has significantly increased our global coordination, teamwork and client delivery. Through our global structure, Baird has been able to deliver superior cross-border expertise and capabilities and outstanding results for our clients. We remain firmly committed to this global team approach and look forward to leveraging Thomas and Pat’s decades of investment banking experience to further expand and accelerate our European effort.
Brian Doyal, Co-Head of Global Investment Banking
Europe continues to be one of the most significant growth opportunities for our global investment banking business, and we’ve invested accordingly.
