Peter Weinberg, former head of European investment banking at Goldman Sachs, will join former Morgan Stanley star banker Joseph Perella in his as yet unnamed investment banking boutique. Perella left Morgan Stanley last April during the battle over the leadership of the firm and soon after was sole adviser to MBNA on its $35.8 billion sale to Bank of America.
Separately, the former CFO of media company Viacom, Richard Bressler, is joining Boston-based private equity firm Thomas H Lee Partners. Bressler will head the firm’s strategic resources group, which helps advise the managements of companies that Thomas H Lee Partners owns.
