Stout Expands Healthcare Investment Banking Team With Two Senior Hires

Stout is pleased to announce the expansion of the firm’s Healthcare Investment Banking team with the addition of Chad Moore, who joins as Managing Director, and Marco Basu, who joins as Director. Chad and Marco have a successful history of collaboration, having previously worked together at Robert W. Baird & Co. to establish the firm’s pharma services practice.

“We’re very excited to welcome these experienced bankers to bolster the breadth and depth of our healthcare industry coverage,” said Tony Crisman, Head of Stout’s Healthcare Industry team within the Investment Banking group. “Chad and Marco are an optimal leadership team in pharmaceutical services and technology given their transaction credentials, unique perspectives from diverse sector-specific backgrounds in M&A, lending and operational roles, and continuity given their past collaborative work history.”

Chad brings over 25 years of experience, having executed more than 75 transactions in the areas of pharma technology, data, and services. Prior to joining Stout, Chad co-founded three companies in the healthcare technology and services sector that raised over $225 million of capital. Previously, he was Head of Pharma Services Investment Banking at Robert W. Baird & Co. and Leerink Partners and led corporate development for PRA International.

Marco has more than 10 years of experience, executing successful sell-side and buy-side M&A, leveraged buyouts, private financings, and equity raises with a focus on outsourced pharma development services and technology, specifically those advancing or accelerating clinical research. Prior to joining Stout, Marco gathered a decade of experience in transaction advisory covering pharma services and technology and the broader healthcare value chain, included stops at Capital One Healthcare and Robert W. Baird & Co.

“Marco and I are thrilled to join a leading, independent, financial advisory firm with a strong reputation of high-quality work tailored to each client,” said Chad Moore. “Healthcare is a key industry for Stout, and we can’t wait to bring the full strength of the firm’s healthcare expertise to benefit our clients.”
