ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today announced the hiring of Ed Ribaudo as a Managing Director and Head of Leveraged Finance Capital Markets. In this new role, Mr. Ribaudo is responsible for leading the firm’s Leveraged Finance Capital Markets and Syndicate functions and is based in Stifel’s New York City office.

Mr. Ribaudo joins Stifel from Houlihan Lokey, where he co-founded and built the firm’s syndicated leveraged finance platform, enabling it to provide underwritten commitments on broadly syndicated leveraged loans.

“Over the past several years, we have made substantial progress building out our leveraged finance and fixed income capital markets platform,” said Eric Needleman, Global Head of Fixed Income Capital Markets. “We are now taking yet another major step forward with the addition of Ed, who brings extensive credit, product, and market experience in leveraged finance. Ed will work closely with the leveraged finance team and our fixed income sales specialists to best execute non-investment-grade debt solutions on behalf of our diverse client base.”
