JP MORGAN CAZENOVE IAN HANNAM
JP Morgan Cazenove’s (JP M Caz) top dealmaker Ian Hannam was the chief adviser on the Heritage-Genel merger.
He’s tipped to be the big beast of 2009’s bonus pool, having reeled in most of the company’s big deals.
He, along-side JP M Caz’s new chief executive, Naguib Kheraj, secured advisership on the HSBC, Xstrata, Land Securities and SVG Capital cash calls.
Hannam has worked on more major deals in London than any of his contemporaries, but he missed out on the JP M Caz chief executive job last year.
The decision to appoint Kheraj ruffled feathers at JP MCaz, and it was much-speculated that Hannam would quit, having lost out on the job.
Hannam also lost out on a record breaking deal with US company Dow Chemical in 2007.
The $18.8bn (£11.56bn) purchase of Rohm & Haas was advised by Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, after a cloak-and-dagger takeover deal involving JP M Caz turned nasty. In a John Le Carre-style episode, a nasty legal spat blew up between Dow chief executive Andrew Liveris and two ex-senior officials at the company who secretly explored taking it over. JP M Caz came clean about its involvement in the secret talks, losing Hannam the deal.
Hannam is ex- Bermondsey grammar, a Millwall fan and an ex-member of the Territorial SAS.
