"Tom will further advance MUFG as a source of intellectual capital, and our investment in his team is a doubling down on our commitment to our clients as a trusted advisor and source of market expertise."

"Tom and team will be value-additive to our clients on day one and position us to capture further mind and marketshare," said Kevin Cronin, Head of Global Corporate & Investment Banking in the Americas.
