Most recently, Kingston served as head of HCM at Cavendish. Formerly, he held senior positions within Alantra, as well as Boxington, a HCM sector specialist and M&A boutique.
Having worked in the private equity industry for 15 years, Webb brings a wealth of knowledge to Oppenheimer.
He has a history of securing buy-side and sell-side mandates from financial sponsors.
Webb was most recently head of Cavendish’s private equity coverage. His previous job was as a private equity reporter at RSM, a mid-market accounting firm.
Lami added: “Chris and Mark’s sector specialist M&A focus, combined with Leigh’s financial sponsor relationships, will lay the foundation for additional growth in our European M&A advisory activities and, importantly, enhance our cross-border M&A services for clients focused on software and business services companies.”
