Marlborough opens office in Madrid, hires head of Iberia

Pedro Manen de Sola-Morales has joined Marlborough Partners as managing director and head of Iberia to consolidate the firm's presence in the Spanish and Portuguese leveraged and corporate debt advisory markets.
Advisory firm Marlborough, which also has offices in Frankfurt and London, has opened a new office in Madrid to advise private equity and corporate clients in relation to debt raising, refinancings, amendments and restructurings in the Iberian peninsula.
Manen de Sola-Morales has joined Marlborough from PwC's debt & capital advisory team, where he was head of corporate debt advisory. Before joining PwC, Pedro worked at RBS, Calyon and BNP Paribas in the leveraged finance and corporate banking teams.
Marlborough already has a presence in the region – most recently advising on the unitranche financing for Portobello Capital's acquisition of Vivanta, the dental care and aesthetic medicine platform that operates 265 clinics across Spain.
Since 2003, the Marlborough team has advised on 240 completed transactions.
