Lazard, a New York-headquartered financial advisory and asset management firm, has added three investment bankers to its media, entertainment, and sports group in New York: Stephen Finkel, Manoel Carvalho, and Bryan Tannenbaum.

The three professionals join Lazard from Guggenheim Securities.

Finkel joins as managing director and global head of sports advisory. He was most recently senior managing director and head of the sports advisory practice at Guggenheim. Before joining the investment bank in 2017, Finkel was a managing director at Rothschild & Co focusing on sports and media. Earlier in his career, Finkel was a corporate attorney at Davis Polk & Wardwell.

Carvalho joins Lazard as a managing director. He was previously a managing director at Guggenheim, where he focused on sports, media, and entertainment, and a VP at Rothschild & Co. Carvalho began his career in the consulting business of Deloitte.

Tannenbaum joins Lazard as a VP. He was most recently a VP at Guggenheim. Earlier in his career, Tannenbaum was an assistant VP in the municipal securities division of Citi Community Capital.

“Sports continues to develop as a unique global asset class, benefiting from continued strong fan engagement in a fragmented content ecosystem -- Lazard’s unparalleled brand, platform, and capabilities uniquely position us to support our clients," said Ben Braun, global head of media, entertainment, and sports, who joined Lazard in May 2024 from Liontree. "We are excited to welcome Stephen, Manoel, and Bryan as we continue to expand our global practice."

Lazard launched its media, entertainment, and sports advisory practice in May when Braun joined the firm. The practice is situated within the firm’s financial advisory business, which provides services in strategy and M&A, restructuring, and capital markets advisory, among other areas.

Lazard was founded in 1848 and has more than 3,200 employees globally. The firm has nine offices in the United States.
