Gordon Brothers has appointed Tron Allen as Senior Managing Director, adding a corporate finance and asset-based lending executive with more than 30 years of experience to its Transaction Office.
Based in Texas, Allen will lead business development efforts across the Gordon Brothers platform, expanding relationships with private equity sponsors, banks and investment bankers while working across the firm’s appraisal, disposition, investment and advisory businesses.
His appointment strengthens Gordon Brothers’ presence in Texas while giving the firm another senior executive focused on connecting clients with capabilities spanning financing, asset advisory and trading.
Allen joins from Eclipse Business Capital, where he served as Chief Commercial Officer and led business development for its asset-based lending platform.
Before Eclipse, Allen spent nearly five combined years as a Senior Vice President at Deloitte Corporate Finance and BKD Corporate Finance. Earlier in his career, he spent more than a decade at GE Capital in corporate finance leadership positions.
That background gives Allen experience across lending, corporate finance and client relationship management, areas that align with Gordon Brothers’ strategy of providing solutions throughout different stages of a company’s lifecycle.
Founded in 1903, Boston-based Gordon Brothers provides asset advisory, lending and financing, and trading services across industries including industrials, retail, real estate and consumer brands.
The company operates more than 30 offices across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
