MINNEAPOLIS -- (Business Wire)

Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE: PIPR), a leading investment bank, has named Rob Parker and Tripp Griffin as co-heads of services and industrials investment banking. Matt Sznewajs and John Tye, current co-heads of the services & industrials team, have been appointed vice chairmen of investment banking, and co-heads of private equity advisory. David Lee will join Sznewajs and Tye in leading the firm’s private equity advisory effort while continuing to lead Piper Sandler’s financial sponsor group.

“Rob and Tripp are each well-respected, creative bankers with proven track records. They have played a large role in the growth of the services & industrials group over the past several years. We look forward to their leadership and teamwork as we continue to build upon and expand the franchise,” said Mike Dillahunt, global co-head of investment banking and capital markets at Piper Sandler.

Griffin joined Piper Sandler through the 2013 acquisition of Edgeview Partners and was previously an officer in the U.S. Navy. He has more than 20 years of investment banking experience and has meaningfully contributed to the growth of the services & industrials franchise, including successfully leading the firm’s efforts in commercial services.

Parker joined the firm in 2024 and has been instrumental in building the firm’s leadership position in residential services. He has more than 25 years of investment banking experience, beginning his career at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette followed by Quarton Partners, a firm he co-founded that was later acquired by Cowen in 2019.

Sznewajs and Tye have grown the services & industrials group into the firm’s largest private equity-focused industry team. They will leverage their 50+ combined years of deal-making across the broader platform and continue to lead day-to-day transaction execution for clients. The newly formed private equity advisory effort will be led by Sznewajs, Tye and Lee and be tasked with continuing to grow the firm’s private equity business, which currently represents roughly half of the firm’s advisory revenue.

“Matt and John have built a team with incredible scale and momentum with financial sponsors. Their experience in growing the services and industrials group will be invaluable as we continue to grow revenue across the firm’s industry and product groups with private equity clients,” said Chad Abraham, chairman and chief executive officer.
