The duo “will be able to come in and make an immediate impact to our efforts in the financial-technology sector,” Steven Schmidt, co-head of technology investment banking at Minneapolis-based Piper Sandler, said in an emailed statement.

The firm is actively building its technology franchise, Brian White, co-head of technology investment banking, said in the statement. White was promoted last month, succeeding Nicholas Obsorne, who became chairman of technology investment banking.
