Baird Global Investment Banking recently welcomed Ralph von Selzam into its team as the firm continues its expansion into the DACH region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Von Selzam has been tapped to take on the role as the company’s managing director for its Frankfurt office. His recent achievements such as covering building materials and construction companies, among many others, led David Silver and the rest of Baird’s European Investment Banking team to elect von Selzam to hold the said position.

"We are very pleased that Ralph decided to continue his career at Baird,” Silver said. “He will make a great addition as we continue on our momentum and growth in the DACH region and other areas of the continent.”

Speaking on behalf of DACH Investment Banking, company head Thomas Fetzer shares the same enthusiasm for having von Selzam on board.

"Ralph has strong advisory and transaction experience and long-standing client relationships that will make him a tremendous addition to our team in Germany, our growing franchise in Europe, and overall global platform," Fetzer said.

With von Selzam’s appointment, the European Investment Banking franchise is expecting another successful year, similar to what it enjoyed in 2017.
