Global Hunter Securities has opened a new office in Los Angeles and appointed Steve Sebastian as managing director and co-head of financial advisory and restructuring services. He will join Jeff Zolkin, MD, in opening the Los Angeles office and co-heading financial advisory and restructuring services.
Mr Sebastian has completed more than 140 advisory, financing and restructuring transactions across multiple industries. Prior to joining Global Hunter Securities, he served as a group co-head at Chanin Capital Partners.
Daniel Conwill, chairman and CEO of Global Hunter Securities, said: “The opening of our Los Angeles office marks an important milestone that provides a key platform for expanding our business and augmenting our investment banking team with tenured professionals. Mr Sebastian and Mr Zolkin deep breadth of knowledge and combined decades of experience will complement our presence in Los Angeles and enhance the growth of our business.
“Our Los Angeles office will further differentiate GHS as a nimble and entrepreneurially-minded firm that leverages longstanding relationships to service our clients’ needs. I am excited that Mr Sebastian will be joining us in building our firm’s presence and continuing to distinguish GHS as an indispensible investment banking partner that has the expertise and financial acumen to adapt to the changing tides of the marketplace.”
Mr Sebastian said: “Restructuring and advisory transactions in today’s challenging markets require more than capable and independent advice. Conditions call for a firm that has the experience and ability to develop innovative financing solutions for difficult situations and quickly find the best buyers of distressed assets,” “GHS has the leveraged finance, research, industry coverage and relationships to add real value to the restructuring and advisory services that we offer.”
