Michael Dell thinks his fellow technology founders need more tailored advice. BDT & MSD, the merchant bank whose advisory board he chairs, is expanding its business to help them get it.
The firm is hiring Ryan Nolan, a top banker at Goldman Sachs, to co-lead its technology practice, executives said. Nolan is close to artificial-intelligence leader OpenAI and is advising on its planned restructuring and other matters. At BDT & MSD, he will partner with former Kleiner Perkins partner Juliet de Baubigny who joined in 2023.
