Greenhill has hired bankers Kensuke Hotta and Hiroto Yamada to launch an advisory business in Japan, where it will guide companies through domestic deals and cross-border investments into the US and other developed markets.
The merger advisory firm, which already generates more than half of its revenue from outside the US, said late yesterday that Mr Hotta would be chairman of Greenhill Japan, effective immediately, while Mr Yamada would start as managing director of the business in January.
