Stanger will retire at the end of the first quarter, according to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg. He has been chairman of the equity capital markets business in EMEA since 2022 and was co-head of the business for the 15 years before that, his LinkedIn profile shows.
A spokesman confirmed the contents of the memo.
Stanger and his team advised on some of the biggest European bank capital raises over the years, including those of Banco Santander SA and Deutsche Bank AG. Initial public offerings he was involved in include Volkswagen AG selling shares in sports car company Porsche AG in 2022, one of Europe’s largest listings ever, and German industrial machinery maker Renk AG’s stock market debut last year.
Goldman Sachs is ranked first in advising on equity, equity linked and rights offerings in EMEA this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Total issuance has increased 343% according to the data, fueled by a stock rally in the continent that encouraged companies to raise funding for transactions and return cash to shareholders.
Stanger joined Goldman Sachs in Frankfurt in 1994 as an associate in investment banking. He eventually moved to London and was made a managing director in 2002 and named a partner four years later.
