The firm now employs more than 150 bankers who serve clients across 11 sectors and 15 industry verticals.

“Throughout my career, I’ve sought to add value by offering deep sector-specific knowledge rooted in the broader understanding of how software and technology are fundamentally reshaping our world,” Mr. Muir said. “I am proud and excited to join one of the most prestigious financial advisory firms in the nation and look forward to helping to expand Solomon Partners’ Technology practice to serve a diverse cross-section of both emerging and established leaders.”
