DALLAS (PRWEB) March 06, 2018 -- Glendale Capital Partners, a St. Louis-based investment banking firm, announced the opening of its Dallas location today, with the addition of veteran global businessman William Billeaud as Partner http://www.glendalecapitalpartners.com. The addition of Billeaud will add depth and breadth to Glendale by adding a global business, technology and Texas focus to an already rapidly growing traditional industry footprint with roots in the Midwest. It will extend Corporate Finance offerings with diverse transaction and global business advisory offerings.
Mike Rami, a founding partner at Glendale Capital Partners said, “We’re excited to expand with the addition of Bill as Partner. We’ve known him for many years and welcome his international business and technology focus, as well as adding a footprint in Texas, a huge market for us. In addition, Bill’s advisory practice creates opportunities to extend and add more value to our current corporate finance relationships.”
According to William Billeaud, “In business, especially in corporate finance, it’s critical that your closest partners have both competence and high business integrity. They are very hard to find together, especially in leadership and under one roof. As Warren Buffet said, ‘The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends.’ I have personally known and have done business with the leaders of Glendale Capital Partners since the 1970’s. Our families were close friends and we grew up together. I watched them succeed at life and in business. As a result, I am delighted to be able to join the other partners at Glendale to work closely on all aspects of our corporate finance practice. It will be rewarding and a lot of fun.”
