Maxim Group Bolsters SPAC Staff
A dominant player in the SPAC market adds to its investment banking operations.
June 13, 2008
Maxim Group LLC added to its special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) team and its institutional equities business, appointing a pair of new directors, the mid-tier investment bank announced.
Jeff Sklar, 46, comes to Maxim Group from Oppenheimer & Co. to run the day-to-day operations of the institutional equities segment of the investment bank.
“Jeff has a significant following in the industry and we are pleased to have an individual of his caliber join us,” said Christopher Fiore, executive managing director and head of the capital markets group at Maxim Group.
Along with Sklar, Karl Brenza, 46, joins the Maxim team after spending three years as head of investment banking at Broadband Capital Management. He will join Maxim’s SPAC team, which, early into 2008, has been largely ahead of the pack for SPAC pricings. Maxim was second in 2007 only to Ladenburg Thalmann for SPAC pricings.
Brenza will work under Clifford Teller, the executive managing director and head of Maxim Group’s investment banking practice.
