In the 1970s, he was one of those advising the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency on the investment of its reserves. And in the 1980s he was a partner at Phoenix Securities, which virtually cornered the market in advising stockbroking firms wishing to be bought out during the London market’s Big Bang. So when the forces of consolidation pitched him back into his old firm of CSFB, he needed little persuading to downsize again. This time, he was lured away by Richard Briance, an old friend from Credit Suisse White Weld days, as chairman elect of Hawkpoint, an independent corporate finance firm. David Reid Scott was born in Dublin and spent his childhood in various parts of the UK where his father had army postings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
