Tiger Group launched Tiger Investment Banking, a new division focused on distressed and special situations transactions. Jamie Lisac, who brings 25 years of experience to the firm, will serve as group head and senior managing director.
Tiger’s new investment banking platform serves companies, lenders, turnaround and restructuring consultants and other stakeholders in distressed situations, and will focus on M&A and capital raise transactions.
The division rounds out Tiger’s existing suite of advisory, finance and asset-monetization services, providing new options for clients.
“Jamie’s deep experience strengthens our ability to significantly enhance the value of a business,” Daniel Kane, managing member of Tiger Group, said. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Tiger team.”
Prior to joining Tiger, Lisac led the special situations investment banking groups at Capstone Partners and, earlier, Huron Consulting Group. Before transitioning exclusively to investment banking more than 15 years ago, he was on the restructuring side at leading financial advisory firms FTI Consulting and Alix Partners, where he served in senior roles on prominent corporate restructurings including General Motors, New Century Financial and LyondellBasell.
“I am drawn to situations where the path forward, or even potential capital markets alternatives, is not clear,” Kane said. “I enjoy working side-by-side with management teams to achieve the most optimal result available. Particularly given the rising levels of uncertainty and financial distress in today’s market, I’m excited to expand Tiger’s capabilities to provide even more value to our clients and their stakeholders.”
