By Ashley Montgomery

Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 12 - Rivington Capital Advisors, LLC has hired energy capital markets veteran Rick Makin, according to a company news release.

"Rick's involvement in our capital placement activities will broaden distribution channels to both traditional and non-traditional energy investors and lenders," said Christopher R. Wagner, Rivington founder and principal shareholder, in the release.

"There are very few people in the leveraged finance industry with Rick's track record, experience and contacts with both the issuer and buy side communities. We are delighted to have him working with us."

Makin leaves his position as a managing director at GE Capital Markets. He previously helped start Merrill Lynch's energy finance group, where he was responsible for syndication of all senior, secured and second lien transactions for the group. He also brings experience from various positions in energy finance and syndications.

"After 25 years working for large financial institutions, I believe the market dynamics are right to switch to a more focused energy platform. Rivington has a 10-year track record as a leading boutique investment bank focused on upstream equity and debt placement activities," said Makin in a news release. "I look forward to expanding Rivington's coverage and distribution channels and working closely with industry contacts."

Rivington is an independent investment banking firm based in Denver.
