Mark Forrest joined Gordon Brothers, a global advisory, restructuring and investment firm, as director of business development.
Forrest will expand Gordon Brothers’ integrated service offerings and presence in the Midwest. With more than 25 years of experience in corporate finance, capital markets and lending, he will work with private equity, investment banking and asset-based lending professionals in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Northern Ohio to identify valuation, disposition and lending opportunities for the firm.
Prior to joining Gordon Brothers, Forrest was a managing director at a corporate and investment bank responsible for originating, structuring and syndicating asset-based loans for clients and financial sponsors across a range of industries, including transportation and logistics, metals, mining and manufacturing.
“Mark is a respected lending professional and thought leader whose depth of industry expertise will play a critical role in our continued expansion,” Aaron Walton, managing director, Western regional sales manager at Gordon Brothers, said. “He’ll work collaboratively with leaders across the firm to deliver best-in-class integrated services to our clients.”
“Gordon Brothers’ impressive global reach and track record have driven incredible growth in recent years. I look forward to supporting the firm’s continued success,” said Forrest.
