The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, April 21, edition that Jamie Brown is rejoining Canaccord Genuity Group as vice-chairman and managing director of investment banking. The Globe's Jacqueline Nelson writes that before January, 2015, Mr. Brown was managing partner and a key leader at Difference Capital Financial. Ms. Nelson says Canaccord Genuity was a natural landing spot for Mr. Brown. He worked for Canaccord Genuity for 16 years until 2013. Canaccord Financial was founded in Vancouver by Mr. Brown's father, Peter Brown, who stepped back as chief executive officer in 2006 and retired from the independent brokerage firm in 2014. During that time, Canaccord bought Genuity Capital Markets in 2010. The younger Mr. Brown previously worked on both sides of the border to grow Canaccord Genuity's North American business as the firm increasingly sought international clients. When he left, Mr. Brown was vice-chairman and president of its United States division. Now based in Vancouver, Mr. Brown will target banking business in sectors such as diversified industries, technology and life sciences. It is a natural fit with the focuses Mr. Brown had at Difference.
