Interpath hires senior duo to launch M&A and Capital Markets practice in Spain

International financial advisory firm Interpath has added two senior members to its Spanish team, bringing in Enrique Aguado and Álvaro Ruiz Urrutia to develop and lead its M&A and Capital Markets practice in the country.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Interpath’s launch in Spain in April 2025, and will see Interpath expand its portfolio in the country from restructuring to also include mergers & acquisitions and capital markets, spanning services such as deals, fundraising, debt issuances (bonds) and equity offerings (IPOs).

Led by Enrique Aguado and Álvaro Ruiz Urrutia, who both cross from Swiss bank Mirabaud, the M&A and Capital Markets practice will soon welcome four further colleagues in Spain, and is also soon to appoint Íñigo Churruca (former Managing Director of Corporate and Investment Banking at ING in Spain and Portugal) as a Senior Advisor to the business.

Aguado has more than 25 years’ experience in investment banking. At Mirabaud, he established its Investment Banking practice in Spain and eventually served as Global Co-Head of the division, leading an international team of more than 50 professionals across Switzerland, Spain, the UK, and Canada.

He has also held senior roles at JB Capital Markets, where he founded and led the Investment Banking practice, as well as at Salomon Smith Barney (Citi) in London and Madrid, at Kearney, and at Alantra.

Urrutia meanwhile began his investment banking career at Barclays Capital before joining 360 Corporate (now Natixis Partners Iberia), where he spent seven years advising private equity funds and Spanish companies on M&A deals. He has worked alongside Enrique Aguado since 2014, first at JB Capital Markets and later at Mirabaud.

Commenting on the launch and appointments, Gonzalo Montes Amayo, CEO of Interpath in Spain, said: “The launch of our M&A and Capital Markets practice marks the next step in our ambition to become one of Spain’s leading financial advisory firms. Together, Enrique and Álvaro bring a wealth of experience, strategic vision, and a proven track record in complex transactions in a space with many opportunities for mid-cap companies.”

Headquartered in the UK, Interpath has around 1,000 people based across nearly 30 offices in ten countries.
