NRG Capital Partners, the energy advisory boutique set up by Barclays' former global co-head of natural resources Julian Vickers, has turned to Evercore for its first hire since launching last summer.

Dave Navarro, who worked at US boutique investment bank Evercore from September 2011 until November 2015, joins NRG in January as head of oilfield services and equipment advisory. He will focus only on corporate clients and investors interested in this sector.
