Reedland Capital Partners expanded its corporate debt advisory group with the addition of Brian Demmert as managing director. Demmert has more than 15 years of diversified experience in commercial lending and related advisory roles, focused primarily on financing venture capital and private equity-backed life sciences, technology and healthcare services companies. During that time frame, Demmert completed in excess of $5 billion in loans and became an expert in structuring and negotiating growth capital, asset and equipment-based loans, as well as subordinate and mezzanine financings.
Prior to joining Reedland, Demmert worked for several Silicon Valley financial institutions, including Armentum Partners, a venture lending advisory business which he co-founded in 2012. Previously, Demmert was head of life sciences for Comerica Bank’s national life science lending practice and a director at Oxford Finance, where he headed the firm’s Northern California office. Demmert also held various positions at Silicon Valley Bank and Accenture Technology Consulting.
“I chose to join Reedland because I am inspired by their approach and platform. Having worked in the industry for many years, it was important to me to find a home that prioritizes the clients’ financial needs,” Demmert said. “I look forward to reengaging with many of my former clients and colleagues.”
“David Schachter and I are thrilled to welcome Brian to the Reedland team, and are confident that his depth of experience in both direct lending and advising middle market and emerging growth companies on corporate debt transactions will significantly enhance our ability to create the best possible debt financing solutions for our clients,” Robert Schachter, founder of Reedland Capital Partners, said.
Reedland Capital Partners is a boutique investment bank that specializes in structuring, arranging and negotiating corporate and real estate debt for both publicly-traded and privately-held middle market companies and emerging growth companies.
