Kevin Griffin: A Career in Success

You could say that Fennebresque & Co. founder and Managing Director Kevin Griffin has been around the block in the world of investment banking and corporate finance. The rise of the company is the latest notch on his belt of experience. Having marked more than 12 years in the industry, with seven dedicated exclusively to the middle market, Griffin is the embodiment of genius and hard work, proving that even in this competitive world, small steps still count.

Kevin Griffin’s brilliance sets him apart even as he received his education. In 1999, he received a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business where he graduated with honors. Prior to that, he studied at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

Before the emergence of Fennebresque & Co., Griffin served as a Partner and Vice President with McColl Partners, an investment bank that provides services to middle-market companies and financial institutions. AT McColl, he was responsible for creating and executing middle market Mergers and Acquisitions transactions.

Before his years with McColl Partners, Griffin worked in the M&A and corporate finance divisions of Lazard, JPMorgan, and Bank of America in New York, Chicago, and Charlotte. Even further back, Griffin began his career as an investment banking analyst with NationsBanc Capital Markets in Charlotte, where he concentrated on fixed income products for real estate.

At Fennebresque & Co., a company that provides middle market advisory services in order to aid clients in the evaluation and execution process of financial transactions, Griffin belongs to a team of senior-level investment banking professionals who are objective, creative, and committed to providing effective advice to clients.
