We are truly pleased to have him as part of our team.”
Mr. Mennella will be part of the leadership of the firm's global Chemicals team, which is supported by a network of advisory bankers in over 50 offices in 40 countries around the world.

Mr. Mennella stated, “I am very excited to join Rothschild & Co's Global Advisory business and provide the global practice with dedicated chemicals expertise on the ground in the US. I believe this is an exciting time to join the firm given its sustained commitment to expanding capabilities across North America. Rothschild & Co has a reputation for excellence and I'm looking forward to strengthening the team as it continues to deliver premier service to clients here and around the world.”
