Guggenheim Poaches Tech Banker from Evercore

Eric Mandl, one of Evercore’s most productive technology bankers, jumped to Guggenheim Securities on Tuesday.

Mr. Mandl specializes in cloud computing and big data deals. At Evercore, he advised on deals including the sale of Whiptail to Cisco, the sale of Tier3 to Century Link and Dell’s acquisition of Force 10 Networks.

At Guggenheim, Mr. Mandl will be a senior managing director and continue to focus on enterprise technology companies. It is the latest hire for Guggenheim in the technology, media and telecom sectors, where the investment bank and asset manager has developed a niche.

“We are pleased to welcome Eric to the team,” said Mark Van Lith, head of investment banking at Guggenheim. “His breadth of relationships across the converging technology, media and telecom landscape and reputation for thoughtful advice fits well with our platform.”
