Houlihan Lokey, a global investment bank, hired Rob Kordas as a managing director in its industrials group. Kordas is based in Chicago and will lead coverage of the energy field services and equipment sector.
Kordas joined from RBC Capital Markets, where he most recently was a managing director and head of energy services and equipment, advising corporates and financial sponsors on a range of M&A and financing transactions across the energy services and equipment sector for 15 years. Prior to RBC, he was a vice president at Moelis & Co., where his coverage focused on industrials.
“Rob brings a depth of sector knowledge, transaction experience, and dedication to client focus to our industrials team that is critical to our success,” Bill Peluchiwski, senior managing director and global head of industrials at Houlihan Lokey, said. “He has advised both private and public companies on a wide variety of M&A and financing transactions, and his deep sector knowledge will doubtless be of great benefit to our clients in the energy field services and equipment sector. We are delighted that he has joined the team.”
“Houlihan Lokey’s market relationships, broad suite of services and client-centric corporate culture deliver outstanding results to clients worldwide. I’m thrilled to be joining the industrials team, and I look forward to expanding its capabilities in this fast-growing segment of the market,” Kordas said.
