Paul Taubman

Paul Taubman spent over 30 years at Morgan Stanley, eventually becoming co-head of investment banking. After leaving Morgan Stanley in 2012, he founded PJT Partners which went public through a combination with Blackstone's advisory business in 2015. PJT has become a well-regarded independent advisory firm across M&A, restructuring, and fund placement. The firm is known for its talent-intensive culture and handling complex, high-profile assignments. Taubman has been consistently recognized as one of the most skilled M&A advisers in the industry. PJT's Park Hill Group, which raises capital for private equity and hedge funds, became a significant competitive differentiator, as the combination of M&A advisory and fundraising capabilities allowed PJT to serve clients across the transaction lifecycle in ways that pure advisory firms could not replicate.
