A year on from its surprise $550m acquisition of advisory boutique Greenhill, Japanese bank Mizuho wants to achieve what so many of its rivals have failed to do — break America.
Mizuho plans to establish itself as a top 10 investment bank in the US after swooping on 370 dealmakers from Greenhill, and is continuing to add talent, according to Michal Katz, head of the investment and corporate banking division at Mizuho Americas.
