Robert F. Greenhill (Chairman and Founder)
Greenhill is an independent, New York based investment bank founded in 1996 by Robert F. Greenhill. It is considered one of the most elite and prestigious firms on Wall Street.
The firm provides advice on mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, financings, and capital raisings to leading corporations, partnerships, institutions and governments across a number of industries. Recent clients include Actavis, Alcoa, Energy Future Holdings, Fluor Corporation, Gannett, GlaxoSmithKline, , Safeway, Tesco, Teva, and the US Department of Treasury.
Greenhill was established in New York City in 1996 by Robert F. Greenhill, the former President of Morgan Stanley and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Smith Barney. He founded the first M&A group on Wall Street while at Morgan Stanley and became an early pioneer of the industry.
Greenhill has been featured in many prominent assignments since its founding including the $100 billion acquisition of ABN AMRO in 2007, the United States Department of Treasury's divestiture of its $51 billion stake in AIG in 2012, and the $17 billion merger between Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines in 2008. The firm was also involved as an adviser to a highly influential group of former Morgan Stanley partners in their successful and controversial bid to have former Morgan Stanley CEO Philip J. Purcell step down in 2005.
