NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) announced today that Geoff Paul has joined the bank as Managing Director and Head of Equity Capital.

In this newly created role, Paul will be responsible for developing MUFG's Equity Private Placements (EPP) business, allowing the bank to expand its traditional equity capital markets footprint and to serve clients' needs across the entire capital structure.

This unified approach across public and private equity markets is designed to serve the equity and junior capital needs of MUFG's corporate and sponsor clients. Based in New York, Paul reports to Raj Kapadia, International Head of Capital Markets Group.
