BTIG announced today that Michael Karmiol has been appointed the new Head of Healthcare Equity Capital Markets at BTIG. Mr. Karmiol will be focused on capital markets opportunities for corporate and institutional clients across the healthcare sector. In his new position within the firm’s Equity Capital Markets unit, Mr. Karmiol will report directly to Matt Clark, Managing Director and Head of BTIG Investment Banking.

Healthcare is a major focus at BTIG, and the firm expects to continue to expand the number of professionals dedicated to investment banking, capital markets, research and trading within the sector. “As Head of Healthcare Equity Capital Markets, Michael will help construct and articulate an ever-broadening set of solutions and services to the marketplace,” noted Mr. Clark. “Working closely with our existing Equity Capital Markets team, we are confident that he will strengthen our relationships as he supports the key objectives of our corporate and institutional investor clients.”
