Nomura is building a team of up to 15 senior dealmakers to tackle the digital and software sectors, part of a broader hiring spree at the Japanese bank as it embarks on a fresh march on Wall Street rivals.

The bank is eyeing a significant investment in talent, its global co-head of investment banking, Jeff McDermott, told Financial News. Nomura launched a new industrials and infrastructure team in March, comprised of 150 bankers, and technology is the next sector the bank is looking to grow in, he said.
