Roy Graham

Managing Director

After 30 years in investment banking, Roy transitioned to semi-retirement and enjoys focusing on a limited number of selective engagements. Previously he managed the firm's Austin/San Antonio office for 27 years and served on the firm's Board of Directors and Executive Committee. He was also a shareholder and member of the Board of Directors of Corporate Finance Securities, Inc., an affiliated FINRA registered broker-dealer.

Prior to investment banking he launched several startup companies and served in leadership capacities in each including one that reached Inc 500 ranking before it was sold to a large national acquirer. Roy combined his experience in investment banking with his understanding of business from an owner's perspective to produce solutions to challenging needs and to help clients accomplish their goals.

He has managed engagements in many industries on both domestic and cross-border transactions and worked with many family-owned businesses as well as more broadly owned private and public corporations guiding them through business sales, acquisitions and recapitalization driven by various objectives.

He has been privileged to be involved in industry leadership for many years, having served as past president of the Austin/San Antonio chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth "ACG", a global organization of 15,000 members from private equity, investment banking, corporate development and other professions focused on M&A issues. He served on the ACG chapter board of directors for 16 years and the ACG global board of directors for 3 years.
