John St John, veteran equity capital markets banker and founder of independent boutique STJ Advisors, has been reunited with two former colleagues from Nomura, including one who quit the financial services industry last summer to run a vineyard.

Marcus Le Grice joined STJ Advisors as a partner in late January, according to the FSA register. He previously worked at Nomura, where he was most recently head of the emerging markets and Japan-related global finance team before leaving in June last year.
