Mr. Righellis will join the Firm in mid-July and will be based in Palo Alto.
Mr. Righellis will join Moelis & Company with more than 15 years of investment banking and management consulting experience during which time he has provided strategic advice to corporate clients on M&A, IPOs, capital markets and restructuring transactions. Most recently, Mr. Righellis served as a Managing Director at Barclays, formerly Lehman Brothers, in Menlo Park advising on both M&A and capital markets transactions for semiconductor and electronics companies in the U.S., Asia, Europe and Israel.
