When Alantra moved its investment banking headquarters to London in June — a rare post-Brexit vote of confidence in the City — Miguel Hernández uprooted his life in Spain and moved to the UK.

A 20-year veteran of the mid-market specialist, Hernández was promoted to run its investment bank in March. He has spearheaded an expansion strategy that has seen dealmaker headcount grow by 20% in the City over the past year and new offices opened in Europe and beyond.
