Evercore bolstered its infrastructure secondaries franchise by hiring Clay McCoy as a senior managing director. McCoy arrives from Campbell Lutyens, where he spent roughly two and a half years leading the firm’s infrastructure secondaries practice, and expands its client base in North America.

The appointment follows Evercore’s broader push into secondary markets, including the launch of a credit‑secondaries platform in Europe earlier this year. An APAC head was also added, signaling a coordinated effort to capture cross‑border deal flow as investors recycle capital, and to leverage its growing European distribution network.

Adding McCoy gives Evercore immediate coverage of mid‑market infrastructure assets, a segment where limited competition has driven fee compression. Clients seeking liquidity can now tap a broader advisory suite without turning to boutique specialists. The hire underscores the firm’s intent to compete with established secondaries houses and could accelerate deal sourcing across Europe and Asia, as the sector eyes a rebound in infrastructure spending.
