Stroudsburg, Pa., Aug. 9 - Thomas Weisel Partners announced it has hired a team of five senior healthcare bankers led by Brent Milner.

Milner, formerly the director of healthcare banking at Deutsche Bank Securities, has joined as a partner and the director of healthcare banking. Joining with him are four other professionals from Deutsche Bank's healthcare banking group.

"I am delighted to be joining Thomas Weisel Partners and teaming up with several former colleagues, all of whom have spent their careers dedicated to covering growth companies," said Milner in a news release. "Thomas Weisel Partners is a natural fit for our team given the firm's growth focus, extensive healthcare coverage platform and deep domain expertise across its sales, trading, research and banking practices."

"Brent Milner and his team have an outstanding reputation within the healthcare industry and we are delighted to join forces with them in expanding our coverage of the healthcare sector," added Blake Jorgensen, Thomas Weisel's co-director of investment banking.

The other four new hires - Stephen Blumenreich, Shawn Cross, Wesley Smith and David Stubbs - will all be joining Thomas Weisel as principals in the firm's New York office.

Before Deutsche Bank, Blumenreich worked for Robertson Stephens & Co. and Salomon Brothers. Stubbs was at Salomon Smith Barney and Cowen & Co. before Deutsche.
