Alexandra Deignan has revealed her new role as chief marketing officer and head of investor relations at Lincoln International – a little over a week after the firm rang the bell at the NYSE to signal its market debut.
‘If you know me, you know I like taking on a new challenge,’ she writes on LinkedIn. ‘Last week I began a new chapter as chief marketing officer and head of investor relations at Lincoln International. Just before the NYSE bell ringing for Lincoln’s IPO was an exciting time to join!
‘This transition comes after nearly nine wonderful years at Lazard. I am deeply grateful to my phenomenal colleagues for an immensely productive and rewarding journey. While I will miss our daily collaboration, I look forward to keeping up our camaraderie from just a few blocks away!’
Lincoln International raised $421 mn in its May IPO – a rare listing by an investment bank. Shares sold at $20, the high end of its range, giving the firm a market cap of around $2.04 bn.
‘The opportunity to join Lincoln International at such a pivotal time was irresistible, especially having watched the company’s growth over the past 25 years through my friend Alysia Tan’s impressive career,’ continues Deignan. ‘As Lincoln takes this historic step into the public capital markets, I’m proud to be part of the next phase of its success.’

Staying in the US, David Helderman, who serves on the NIRI Houston board, has revealed a move from Weight Watchers to a new position at Group 1 Automotive.
‘Some news! Today I am officially starting a new chapter in investor relations at Group 1 Automotive,’ he writes on LinkedIn.
‘My time at Weight Watchers has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it. I am excited to dive into a new space and help drive Group 1 forward – right from our HQ in Houston, which my family and I now call home.’
And in New York, building materials firm CRH – which employs 83,000 people across 4,000 locations – has named Danilo Juvane as head of investor relations.
‘[Juvane] brings a strong track record to the role and his wealth of experience in US financial markets will be invaluable to CRH as we continue to execute our growth strategy and expand our shareholder base,’ says Jim Mintern, CEO, in a statement welcoming Juvane to the company. He also thanked Tom Holmes, Juvane’s predecessor, who is moving into a senior leadership role within CRH’s strategy division.
Juvane has been in the capital markets for 25 years and comes most recently from The Williams Companies, where he served as vice president of corporate development, investor relations and ESG. He previously also served as an analyst with BMO Capital Markets, Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and Entergy Services.
