The memorandum says that Goldman Sachs was upgraded to Dovnner to head the defense of activity in Europe, the Middle East and Africa

New York (Reuters) – Goldman Sachs Bank appointed on Monday, Stephen Dofner, to lead the investment bank activity and advisory work for shareholders in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) while companies are increasingly required to help defense against active investors who pay changes.

Dovnar, who joined Goldman Sachs as an analyst in 2005 and was promoted to the Director General in 2017, will become the head of ASA (activity and shareholders consulting) in Europe, the Middle East and Africa in addition to his responsibilities as head of integration and acquisition of the consumer retail group in Europe, the Middle East and Africa . According to a memorandum of Goldman employees seen by Reuters.

The memorandum was signed by Avenash Mahletra, the global president of activity and shareholders consulting at the Bank of Goldman, along with Nimish Khairia, Karsten and Wahran, the two presidents participating in the integration and acquisitions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Ann Bizin, which led the group of activity in Europe for a period of four years, will focus on the broader privilege of the bank’s customers in France. She was promoted to a partner last year.

Goldman was classified last year again as the best financial consultant in the industry with 49 posts, beating JB Morgan, who had 37 posts, as the Globag World Activity Association schedule appears.

Goldman also said that Camilla Rodriguez Bedoye will join the group of defense of activity, and will take over this role in addition to its role in integration and acquisitions in the group of financial institutions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

In the United States, Goldman Sachs is working with Haniole, which is paid by the Elliot Investment Fund, Management, for changes, while in Europe it works with Renotkole when the Tria Fend Manjint company built a center and with Rikit, when Emenens Capital has built a stake .

Acting defense work has become of increasing importance for banks, and even smaller players add a team to provide these services to customers who may be threatened. Bankers and lawyers said that in 2024, a record number of active shareholders, including 45 new expatriates who published the strategy for the first time, will witness campaigns in international companies, and companies are preparing for more battles this year.
