Origins
Europa Partners was founded in 2000 by former Warburg Dillon Read managing director, David von Simson, and his fellow managing partner, Paul Zisman, who both still run the firm. The firm prides itself on its independence, and cites being wholly owned by its partners as being vital to the culture. First registered with the Securities and Futures Association in 2001, it embarked on an aggressive recruitment campaign in 2004, and attracted a number of partners from major investment banks, whose biographies are on the firm's website.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
