(Bloomberg) -- Rothschild & Co. has added two technology bankers to its global advisory business in North America as it looks to expand coverage on the US East Coast. 

Michael Buchbinder joins from Oppenheimer & Co. and will cover education-technology companies, according to a statement reviewed by Bloomberg. Patrick Mastan, previously at KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., will focus on software M&A, the statement shows. Both will be managing directors reporting to David Baron, Rothschild’s North America head of technology investment banking.

The hires represent “another significant step as we continue to strengthen our client coverage, global platform and roster of leading advisers in our technology team, expanding our team to include senior advisers in two major markets on the East Coast,” Baron said in the statement. 

Buchbinder will be based in New York while Mastan, who served in the US Air Force, will be based in Boston.

Rothschild’s tech team has advised on deals including blank-check firm CC Neuberger Principal Holdings II’s merger with Getty Images as well as Clearlake Capital’s buyout of Cornerstone OnDemand.
