Scott Mead, a former head of Goldman Sachs' telecoms business and the man behind the world's biggest takeover, has joined ex-Dresdner Kleinwort chief executive Andrew Pisker's investment firm.

Mead has joined Richmond Park Capital, an investment boutique Pisker established with three former colleagues in January this year, amid speculation that the former Dresdner Kleinwort chief executive is building up the firm ahead of a public launch.
