Stout Expands Private Equity Coverage

Stout announced a strategic expansion of its private equity (PE) coverage, welcoming three professionals with deep experience covering PE sponsors across the United States. The expansion underscores Stout’s continued momentum and commitment to growth of the private equity channel.

Stout welcomes Directors Mac Labhart, Brandon Palladino, and Jake Prizant.

Mac joins Stout from a middle-market accounting firm where he covered financial sponsors across the country after beginning his career at Deloitte, servicing oil and gas and healthcare clients on complex carve-outs.

Brandon has over 10 years of experience in financial services working with PE sponsors, credit investors, limited partners, investment managers, venture capital firms, and family offices. Prior to joining Stout, he was a Senior Director at DealCloud, leading its strategic sales team.

Jake has nearly a decade of experience in financial services working with PE sponsors, family offices, lenders, and institutional investors. Prior to joining Stout, he was a Vice President of Business Development at Hilco Global, where he focused on originating and structuring credit and advisory solutions for PE sponsors and their portfolio companies.

“The expansion of our PE coverage effort reflects Stout’s continued investment in top-tier talent and deepening of our relationships across the private capital markets,” said Bartley O'Dwyer, Head of Private Equity Coverage. “We’re thrilled to have Mac, Brandon, and Jake join the group, as their collective experience and market insight will further enhance our ability to serve PE sponsors and their portfolio companies.” For over 30 years, Stout has supported leading PE sponsors and their portfolio companies across investment banking, valuation advisory, transaction advisory, and accounting advisory services.
