Max Lami has plenty of experience of bulge-bracket investment banks. He began his banking career when he joined Bear Stearns in 1994 and was with the firm until 2000, working on equity derivatives. He then joined Goldman Sachs, where he was an executive in the equities division in London.
He left in 2006, a time when Goldman was increasingly focused on fixed income, currencies and commodities, and did business consultancy for the next two years.
