With 25 years of industry experience, Edwards takes on the role of managing director, head of debt capital markets. Holding previous posts at Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns and Macquarie, Edwards has closed hundreds of leveraged buyouts totaling more than $40 billion. His background in deal structuring and restructuring, as well as negotiating and syndication, strengthens Crewe’s holistic client experience that meets needs across the capital markets spectrum.
Leck joins as senior vice president, capital markets, having accumulated more than a decade of experience in the industry, including roles at Credit Suisse and Macquarie where he worked with technology, media, telecom, metals and mining, and aerospace and defense companies through all phases of growth, from startup to IPO.
“Morgan and Paul are great assets to bring to the team, allowing us to meet a new level of sophistication in the middle market,” says Michael Bennett, managing partner at Crewe. “Their expertise strengthens synergies throughout the business so we can continue solving increasingly complex client needs across the board. We’re excited to have both on our team, helping to provide continuity and expanded capabilities as we grow.”
Crewe’s capital markets team offers a full-service solution for clients needing to raise capital, including debt and equity, restructuring, management buyouts, dividend recaps, leveraged buyouts and other types of M&A.
“Having spent the bulk of my career at some of the largest investment institutions, I’m excited about working with middle market companies that often miss out on the attention and expertise that large cap companies receive,” says Edwards. “What Mike and his team have built here is unique, and they’re the reason I look forward to coming to work every day and helping find solutions for clients.”
Edwards resides in Connecticut, adding to the New York metro-area office, while Leck lives in Utah and will work out of Crewe’s Salt Lake City headquarters. Both executives hold Series 79 licenses.
