Given the continued growth of the firm\u2019s capital markets platform and its increased connectivity between business lines, the time was right for this move, MacKenzie commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent the majority of my career with this company, starting as an analyst nearly 20 years ago. I am extremely excited to move into this next chapter, which involves further building on the strong foundation leadership has formed and driving our teams to even greater success and innovation on behalf of our clients,\u201d MacKenzie added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
