Swiss bank UBS’s new co-head of European mergers and acquisitions Alison Harding-Jones is this week’s investment banker of the week, after a deal on which she and her team were advising a Serbian supermarket chain on its approach by a Belgian peer completed.

Harding-Jones was involved in the transaction as senior sponsor, having previously been responsible for building out UBS's emerging Europe business. She was named co-head of European M&A with Jonathan Rowley in March.
