William Blair, the premier global boutique with expertise in investment banking, investment management, and private wealth management, has named managing directors John Ivey and B.T. Remmert as the firm’s co-heads of Technology investment banking. Ivey and Remmert will succeed Pete Dalrymple when he departs the firm in the second quarter, and they will serve as market-facing leaders of the Technology team’s business growth and team development.
“John and B.T. have been at the core of our Technology group for years, including in 2024 when the team experienced its second-best year. The team has great momentum heading into 2025, and John and B.T. are inspiring culture carriers who will continue to empower our deep bench of rising talent,” said Matt Zimmer, William Blair’s global head of investment banking. “I would like to thank Pete for his more than 14 years of dedicated service as he pursues this next phase of his career in private equity. Pete has been a consummate professional who has embodied an unwavering commitment to clients, the stability of our firm’s partnership model, and the team’s deep understanding of the complex technology marketplace. Knowing Pete so well, we look forward to seeing him thrive as an investor and wish him all the best.”
William Blair’s Technology investment banking team works across a broad range of technology subsectors, including application software, financial technology, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and IT services. Ivey and Remmert both draw on more than 12 years of experience offering holistic investment banking solutions and comprehensive sector knowledge to growth-minded companies and private equity investors. Ivey earned his B.S. from the United States Naval Academy and his M.B.A. from Boston College and is based in Los Angeles. Remmert received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame and his M.B.A. from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. He is based in Atlanta.
“We are thrilled to be named co-heads of Technology investment banking, a team that benefits from William Blair’s global platform, differentiated culture, and experienced investment bankers to focus on service excellence and sophisticated outcomes for clients,” Ivey and Remmert said in a joint statement. “Pete worked tirelessly to align our capabilities with innovative companies and investors in the sector, and we look forward to building on that foundation to deliver more creative solutions for our clients.”
“It has been a pleasure to contribute to William Blair’s Technology investment banking group and the overall direction of the firm,” Dalrymple said. “As we work to seamlessly transition project workflows, I have the utmost confidence in John, B.T. and the entire Technology team.”
