Evercore Adds Technology Banker

Evercore Partners said it hired Jed Sherwindt from Citigroup as senior managing director in its advisory business. He will advise technology companies and be based in Evercore's San Francisco office.

Sherwindt joins the boutique investment bank from Citigroup where he was a managing director and head of the global software investment banking group. At Citigroup, he worked on several major technology transactions, including PeopleSoft in its sale to Oracle and IBM's acquisition of FileNet.
