Lincoln International adds Vinod Stalam as Managing Director

Lincoln International, a global investment banking advisory firm, has expanded its Business Services Group with the appointment of Vinod Stalam as a Managing Director in London.

Vinod will provide mergers and acquisitions advisory services to financial sponsors, corporates, entrepreneurs and management teams, with a focus on the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) and testing, inspection and certification (TIC) sectors, as well as route-based blue-collar services.

“Vinod has extensive experience advising on multifaceted, cross-border and tech-enabled business services deals for world-class companies, both in the U.S. and Europe,” said Friedrich Bieselt, Managing Director and head of Lincoln’s Business Services Group in Europe. “The M&A outlook in business services is very positive and we are excited about the growth opportunities ahead and the contributions Vinod will make for our entire global Business Services Group.”

Lincoln International’s industry-focused M&A groups work closely with its Capital Advisory, Private Funds Advisory and Valuations and Opinions Groups across Europe and globally to provide clients with holistic solutions.

“I am excited by Lincoln International’s growth trajectory, global footprint, and deep expertise spanning a wide range of sectors. In today’s environment of increasing governmental regulations and requirements, complex global supply chains and rapidly evolving business models, the firm is well-placed to work with high-growth compliance businesses. I look forward to achieving great outcomes for clients as Lincoln continues to invest in developing its industry-leading business services platform,” said Vinod.

Prior to joining Lincoln International, Vinod worked at Jefferies in its global business services advisory practice, with a focus on upper mid-market financial sponsor transactions in Europe and the U.S.

Lincoln International has built a strong market position in all major European commercial centers. Vinod’s appointment aligns with the firm’s investments in senior expertise through lateral Managing Director hiring. To date in 2024, these efforts have resulted in seven new Managing Directors in Europe and nine globally.
