New York, September 17, 2018

Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, today announced the appointment of Jane Sadowsky as a Senior Advisor focused on Diversity & Inclusion. In this newly created role, Ms. Sadowsky will advise the Firm on talent initiatives, including coaching, training and mentoring, for women and other underrepresented groups.

Ms. Sadowsky joins Moelis & Company to enhance the Firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusiveness, as well as accessibility and flexibility. Combining her 25-year investment banking career with her recent work as a leadership coach to C-suite and partner level professional services executives, Ms. Sadowsky’s experience offers a unique and relevant perspective that will help guide the Firm in developing, executing, and evaluating its diversity and inclusion initiatives. Prior to joining Moelis & Company, Ms. Sadowsky was a Senior Managing Director at Evercore Partners where she led the firm’s power and utility M&A practice. Since retiring from Evercore Partners in 2011, Ms. Sadowsky completed Columbia University’s Leadership Coaching Certification Program with the highest honors, and founded Gardener Advisory LLC, which advises public and private companies and governments on electricity and power-related matters. She also currently serves as an independent board member on the Board of Directors of two publicly listed global (mining) companies, Nexa Resources and Yamana Gold. Ms. Sadowsky has advised a number of professional services firms on talent matters and has developed training and mentoring programs for their employees and women professionals in particular.

“Diversity and inclusion at Moelis & Company, and the financial services sector more broadly, can only be achieved through a multi-pronged strategy that is shaped by those who have bold, yet pragmatic ideas specifically tailored for our industry,” said Navid Mahmoodzadegan, Co-President of Moelis & Company. “Jane’s approach is consistent with our ongoing commitment to recruit, develop, advance, and retain more women and underrepresented groups. We are excited to work with her to ensure our global workforce continues to reflect our diverse client base.”

“I am delighted to be working with Moelis & Company as the Firm launches a number of new initiatives aimed at networking, mentorship, coaching, flexibility, and work-life decisions,” said Ms. Sadowsky. “Moelis & Company recognizes that a greater level of diversity is not achieved through the prioritization of one group over another, but through a relentless commitment to equality and inclusiveness – ensuring that opportunities are created for all individuals, at all levels, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. I am excited for the changes and enhancements we are making to these vital programs.”

Through a series of fellowships, mentor programs, targeted development opportunities, and community outreach, Moelis & Company has a number of talent initiatives to reinforce an inclusive and diverse work place:

Rise Above Fellowship: An MBA Fellowship that provides women and underrepresented groups with the opportunity to excel in investment banking by helping finance their education. The Fellowship is offered to both full-time candidates as well as summer intern candidates.

Young Leaders Diversity Program: A hands-on, immersive program for diverse undergraduate sophomores across the U.S. to introduce them to investment banking career opportunities. Through case studies and discussions led by senior bankers, students gain direct, early exposure to the investment banking industry and how Moelis & Company’s unique, innovative, and collaborative culture has made it one of the fastest growing firms on Wall Street.

Veteran’s Program: The Firm hosts workshops for NY-based candidates with prior military experience to prepare them for interviews and hosts events for veterans to attend and ask questions about careers in investment banking. Veterans are also eligible for the Rise Above Fellowship.

Enhanced Family Leave: Moelis recently increased its U.S. maternity leave program to four months. In the coming months, the Firm expects to announce additional initiatives to assist all employees on leave.

Family Care through Bright Horizons: Through a corporate partnership, Bright Horizons offers back-up child, adult and elder care for all Moelis & Company employees. The benefit also includes a “Return to Work Infant Transition Program,” which provides services to new parents transitioning back into the workforce.

Dubai, May 09, 2018

Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, today announced its recognition by Euromoney Magazine as the Best Advisory Bank in the Middle East. This is the third time in five years Euromoney has recognized the strength of Moelis & Company’s Middle East business, having also named the Firm as the Best Investment Bank in the UAE in 2013 and 2016.

The industry magazine highlighted Moelis & Company’s ability to provide comprehensive advice across capital markets, M&A, recapitalization and restructuring to corporates and governments in the region. The Firm was recognized for its longstanding commitment to the Middle East and the successful track record it has built since opening its Dubai office in 2010.

The judges said, “Advisory work in the Middle East has shifted away from big-ticket international M&A buy-outs, towards helping governments implement their longer-term plans and financing strategies, and helping regional corporates restructure their business models and liabilities, in an era of lower growth and (perhaps) higher interest rates. Having set up a Dubai office in 2010, Moelis & Co has emerged as preeminent in this new model of regional advisory.”

“We are proud of the trusted relationships we have built over the years with our clients in the Middle East,” said Rami Touma, Managing Director, Moelis & Company Dubai. “This recognition illustrates our long-term commitment to delivering world-class advisory capabilities to assignments across every product, industry, and geography.”
