Thomas Vermeiren Joins Baird GP Solutions Group
NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2025 – Baird, an employee-owned, international financial services firm, announced today that Thomas Vermeiren has joined the firm’s Global Investment Banking business as Director in its Global General Partnership (GP) Solutions Group. Vermeiren will work closely with Jeremy Duksin and Alex Mejia, Co-Heads of the Global GP Solutions Group.
Since launching in late 2022, Baird’s Global GP Solutions Group has rapidly distinguished itself by delivering outstanding results and growing its advisory footprint at an exceptional pace. The group has closed fifteen GP-led transactions since Q1 2024, representing over $5 billion in total volume, and five deals this summer alone, representing approximately $3 billion in volume. The addition of Thomas Vermeiren further accelerates this momentum, reinforcing the team's reputation for expertise and innovation within the industry.
Vermeiren joins Baird from Morgan Stanley where he served as Executive Director in the firm’s Private Capital Advisory team, leading origination and execution of continuation fund transactions across private equity and infrastructure. Prior to his capital advisory role, Vermeiren was a member of Morgan Stanley’s M&A team, where he advised corporate and financial sponsor clients on a broad range of transactions, including buy- and sell-sides, divestitures and spin-offs. Vermeiren began his investment banking career at Citigroup supporting the firm’s financial technology group. He holds an MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business and a bachelor’s degree in business economics from Oxford Brookes University.
Baird is incredibly pleased to have gained such a skilled team member as part of our Global GP Solutions effort. Thomas' secondary market experience and expertise, particularly his buy-side relationships and perspectives, will enhance our platform and further our ability to provide our PE clients with top-tier GP advisory solutions.
Alex Mejia, Co-Head Global GP Solutions Group
