KingsRock Advisors, the global independent financial advisory firm, said it is expanding its European Union operations by opening an office in Stockholm and appointing top bankers to develop its EU business. Mihai Ionescu, former CEO of Deutche Bank Romania, will coordinate KingsRock’s Eastern European operations from Bucharest.

KingsRock recently expanded its US operations in the UK, and the expansion in the European Union includes Italy and the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal), and Eastern Europe. 

In Italy, operations will be managed by Alessandro Cummunale, Managing Director and former Deutsche Bank banker, and in Portugal by Bernardo Maia and Paolo Oliveira, Managing Directors, both former Deutsche Bank bankers.
