Houlihan Lokey Announces 2023 Promotions to Managing Director

We are delighted to announce the following promotions to Managing Director across the firm, effective April 1. Members of this year’s class span all of our major regions and businesses, and they have achieved this distinction via a range of paths, from rising through the ranks at Houlihan Lokey to joining as a senior officer and joining via acquisitions.

Much more importantly, these individuals have contributed meaningfully to the growth and success of our firm and to our unique corporate culture as well. Like their colleagues, our new Managing Directors exemplify the values that lie at the core of Houlihan Lokey’s brand and mission, and I hope you will join me in congratulating them on the hard work and dedication that has earned them this significant recognition. I wish them continued success in their new roles.

Sincerely,

Scott Beiser
Chief Executive Officer
