Furthers Growth of Marathon Capital’s Equity Capital Markets Offering

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 10, 2024-- Marathon Capital, a leading financial advisory and investment banking firm to the clean economy, has announced that James Fitzgerald has joined the firm as Head of Institutional Sales. Based in New York, Mr. Fitzgerald will be responsible for leading the continued rollout of Marathon Capital’s Equity Research and Equity Capital Markets (“ECM”) products.

Mr. Fitzgerald was most recently Executive Director, Institutional Equity Sales at Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co (the energy business of Perella Weinberg Partners), where he provided coverage and long-term relationship management of hedge fund, long only, family office, and private equity clients across the U.S. and Canada. Prior to TPH & Co, he served as Senior Institutional Equity Sales at Sidoti & Company, where he covered institutional asset manager clients and led various capital markets transactions including IPOs, secondaries and follow-ons. He holds a BS in Business Administration/Finance from Marist College.

In August of 2022, Marathon Capital brought on Jason Demark as Managing Director to build the firm’s public ECM function.

Alex was a member of an Equity Research team that consistently received awards in Institutional Investor over the past ten years.

“We have continued to build out our public ECM capabilities to better serve corporate and institutional investor clients in their sustainable and clean energy initiatives,” said Ted Brandt, Chief Executive Officer of Marathon Capital. “I’m pleased to welcome James, whose institutional relationships and track record across energy markets will be invaluable as we continue to scale our public offerings to meet the demands of our clients around the globe.”

“Marathon Capital has established itself as an innovator in the clean energy sector with an incredible track record of success,” said Mr. Fitzgerald. “I look forward to working with the ECM team to expand our institutional offerings across these dynamic sectors and showcase the firm’s unique expertise to drive success for the industry and investors.”
