BTIG Plots Investment-Banking Hiring Spree Under New Owner

BTIG is mapping out a plan to bolster its investment-banking operations just two months after announcing its deal to be acquired by U.S. Bancorp.

The bank aims to hire as many as 100 investment bankers in the coming years, mostly in its home base in New York and a hub in Miami Beach that opened four years ago, according to BTIG Executive Chairman Steven Starker and Chief Executive Officer Anton LeRoy.
