Renaissance Capital said Trainor will play a major role in shaping Renaissance Capital’s strategy in the Asia region, with a specific focus on the wider natural resources sector (energy, metals, mining and agriculture).
Trainor has over 20 years’ banking experience in Asia. In 2009, he established PacBridge Capital Partners, a boutique advisory and principal investment firm focused on the natural resources sector in Asia.
Prior to PacBridge, Trainor was head of investment banking at Merrill Lynch Asia, where he was also a member of the Pacific Rim Regional Operating Committee.
This followed 11 years at Morgan Stanley, where Trainor was responsible for building the bank’s General Industries Group.
Renaissance Capital chief executive Stephen Jennings said Sheldon brings a wealth of both Asian investment banking and natural resources experience to Renaissance Capital’s Asian offering, and they are delighted to have one of the region’s most senior investment bankers join their team.
"I have no doubt that Sheldon will play a key role in helping us grow our advisory and principal investment business across Asia, identifying opportunities and creating value for our clients," Jennings said.
