Lincoln International Adds Mark Karasik as Managing Director to Help Lead U.S. Asset & Wealth Management Coverage

Lincoln International, a global investment banking advisory firm, is pleased to announce the addition of Mark Karasik as a Managing Director in its Financial Services Group. Based in New York, Mark will help lead Lincoln’s asset and wealth management coverage efforts in the U.S. This strategic hire reflects Lincoln’s continued investment in and expansion of its financial services advisory practice following the acquisition of MarshBerry, a global leader serving the insurance brokerage and wealth & retirement sectors.

“Lincoln’s international platform offers highly regarded mergers and acquisitions advisory services across sectors, backed by strong capital advisory and valuations capabilities,” said Eric Malchow, President and Global Head of Lincoln’s Mergers & Acquisitions Group. “The financial services sector remains a crucial cornerstone of modern markets, and we look forward to Mark leading growth in our practice.”

Mark has nearly two decades of investment banking experience in financial services, having completed more than 50 transactions representing over $40 billion of transaction value. He has a strong track record covering a broad range of transaction types, including both sell-side and buy-side mandates for private equity sponsors and strategic acquirers as well as financial due diligence services.

“My clients come to me to gain clarity on transformative decisions, the complexity of which continues to grow each year,” said Mark. “I look forward to joining Lincoln’s established platform to leverage my own insights alongside the firm’s proprietary data and deep insights into the private capital markets.”

The financial services industry continues to benefit from long-term secular tailwinds, including ongoing consolidation, technology-enabled operating models and evolving consumer demand. Lincoln’s clients will be well-served by Mark’s experience advising leaders across the sector as they pursue growth, liquidity and strategic change.
