STRATEGIC RECRUITMENTS
As Vice Chairman, Mr. Fassberg will leverage his deep experience and extensive contacts across the healthcare spectrum – including biotech and life sciences – and will bring his entrepreneurial approach to enhance Oppenheimer’s presence in the sector. As Managing Director, Mr. Korb brings extensive knowledge of the life science sector, relationships with companies as well as institutional investors that will reinforce the firm’s already formidable capabilities in healthcare investment banking.
Mr. Fassberg and Mr. Korb have worked together for over 20 years in this sector, starting with The Trout Group, a leading investor relations firm in life sciences founded by Mr. Fassberg and now known as Solebury Trout.
Mr. Fassberg comes to Oppenheimer with 30 years of relevant experience, having worked at DuPont Pharmaceuticals as well as several boutique investment banks as an equity research analyst early in his career. Mr. Korb has more than 20 years’ life science experience, largely spent at The Trout Group and Solebury Trout. He led the M&A efforts of The Trout Group’s sale to PNC Bank and was most recently Co-Head of Life Sciences at Solebury Trout.
Together, they will leverage the full scope of Oppenheimer’s resources — including Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Sales & Trading, Research, and Wealth Management — to further elevate Oppenheimer’s ability to deliver an exceptional experience for Boards and management teams of healthcare businesses seeking M&A advisory and capital raising support.
In addition, Mr. Ritucci, as Head of M&A for Healthcare Investment Banking, will be responsible for origination and execution of advisory transactions across all verticals, including Healthcare Services, Medical Devices, Tools & Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals and Biotech. His expertise will further enable Oppenheimer to meet the rapidly evolving needs of the firm’s growing list of clients.
Mr. Ritucci brings over 28 years of relevant experience, providing M&A advisory to clients across the healthcare industry. He has executed numerous sell-side and buy-side M&A transactions for private equity clients, public companies and founder-owned businesses. Prior to joining Oppenheimer, Mr. Ritucci led the middle market healthcare M&A effort at Jefferies. Previously, he headed financial sponsor coverage and healthcare investment banking at Imperial Capital LLC and was a Managing Director focusing on healthcare M&A at UBS Investment Bank.
