Evan Blum joined Hilco Corporate Finance as managing director. In this role, Blum will leverage his understanding of special situation corporate finance (distressed M&A advisory, private financings and financial restructuring) to grow Hilco Corporate Finance’s investment banking business.
“As HCF continues to expand its special situations and restructuring capabilities and grow its investment banking practice, expansion in the New York market is a critical initiative for us,” Geoffrey Frankel, CEO of Hilco Corporate Finance, said. “I am thrilled to have someone with Evan’s experience and capabilities to support us in these efforts.”
Blum is a special situation and restructuring professional with experience in the middle market across a range of industries and transaction structures. Prior to joining Hilco Corporate Finance, he was a managing director at Alvarez & Marsal, where he sourced and executed restructuring matters, particularly for private equity backed companies. Before that, Blum was a principal at Glass Ratner Advisory & Capital Group and led the growth of its New York office. Prior to his restructuring career, he spent eight years in investment banking, raising more than $2.5 billion in debt and equity financings while being involved in more than $2 billion in M&A transactions.
