Piper Jaffray promoted Kashy Harrison to senior research analyst in the energy space. He is based in the Houston office.

Prior to joining Piper Jaffray, Harrison worked for Deloitte & Touche’s audit and enterprise risk services group where he focused on exploration and production companies within the oil and gas industry. Harrison was part of Simmons & Company, an international investment bank specializing in the energy industry, prior to its acquisition by Piper Jaffray in early 2016.

“We are eager to enhance our energy platform with Kashy’s expertise,” said Michael Cox, director of Equity Research at Piper Jaffray. “He has been an asset to the team since he joined Piper Jaffray earlier this year and we are excited to expand our reach to clients in his new role.”

Harrison is a certified public accountant licensed in the state of Texas.

The Piper Jaffray equity research group consists of 41 senior analysts with eight dedicated to the energy sector following the acquisition of Simmons & Company in February 2016.
