Richmond, VA – March 26, 2021 –
BDO Capital Advisors, LLC (BDO Capital), a leading middle market investment bank and wholly-owned affiliate of
BDO USA, LLP, has announced the expansion of the practice to Richmond, Virginia.
BDO Capital’s Richmond presence will be led by Patrick Bisceglia, Managing Director and Co-Head of BDO Capital’s Technology, Media & Telecom (TMT) and Business Services sectors. Bisceglia is a senior banker and member of BDO Capital’s leadership team. He joined the firm in 2011 and has led the execution of many of the firm’s largest and most successful engagements. He will be relocating to Richmond after 10 years in the firm’s Boston office.
“While BDO Capital has long served clients throughout the Atlantic region, Richmond fills a gap in coverage between our New York and Atlanta offices. Having a physical presence there significantly enhances our ability to serve clients in the region,” said Bob Snape, President of BDO Capital. “In addition to being a highly accomplished banker, Patrick is a Richmond native with an extensive network of relationships across the Atlantic and Southeast.”
“BDO Capital is an investment bank focused on representing innovative companies in growing markets,” Bisceglia added. “Richmond is ideally situated between the Washington, DC-Baltimore corridor and Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle where we expect favorable trends in business formation, talent migration and investment activity, particularly in the technology, life sciences and business services sectors.”
BDO Capital has been increasingly active in the Atlantic region in recent years, where Bisceglia has advised companies such as Arlington, VA-based Decisive Analytics Corporation on its sale to Whitney, Bradley & Brown (an H.I.G. Capital portfolio company) and Southport, NC-based Cygnus Technologies on its sale to Maravai LifeSciences (a GTCR portfolio company), now listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
“The Atlantic and Southeast regions offer a competitive cost of living and a favorable business climate, and as a result have increasingly attracted both large and small companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated this trend,” added Snape. “Our presence in Richmond allows us to tap into these shifting demographics and unearth opportunities we otherwise wouldn’t see.”
