He will report to Michael Speller, Head of Debt Advisory, North America, and will be based in New York.
“Ryan brings extensive experience in leveraged finance and cross border transactions, with particular expertise in the diversified industrial and consumer retail sectors, and will significantly bolster our Debt Advisory team and its capabilities,” said Jimmy Neissa, Head of Rothschild & Co, North America. “He is a skilled and knowledgeable adviser who will be a valuable resource for our clients and Global Advisory team, and we are excited to welcome him to the firm.”
“Ryan’s hiring meaningfully strengthens and expands our Debt Advisory platform in the U.S. as we continue to grow our diverse, global client roster,” said Michael Speller. “His addition further extends our capacity to deliver outstanding advice and value for companies and financial sponsors, particularly amid the increased complexity in the debt capital markets.”

He holds an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business, and is a graduate of The University of Virginia with a B.S. in Systems and Information Engineering.
Mr. Griswold stated, “Rothschild & Co continues to cement its global leadership, presence and reputation, and the growth and talent of its Debt Advisory platform is impressive.
