Calder Capital has promoted team members Garrett Monroe, Sam Scharich and Hannelore Jones to senior leadership positions.
Monroe has been promoted to managing director – sell-side. Scharich has been promoted to managing director – buy-side. Jones has been promoted to director of operations.
Monroe, Scharich and Jones will lead the strategic direction of Calder Capital. They will spend the next five years building teams to support Calder’s national expansion.
“While this might appear ‘new’ to the outside, this feels very natural and a long-time coming internally,” said Max Friar, founder and managing partner, in a press release. “Garrett, Sam and Hannelore have demonstrated leadership and a commitment to growth since the first days they set foot in Calder. It is a genuine blessing to work closely with such driven, intelligent and long-term focused people.”
Calder has grown in revenue and headcount since 2022. A formalized management team is necessary and healthy for the company’s future, Friar said.
Monroe joined Calder as an analyst upon graduating from Grand Valley State University. He ascended to the position of M&A advisor. Monroe has claimed the title of top revenue producer at Calder Capital for three of the past four years.
“Garrett is a visionary and strategist, one of the sharpest, deliberate minds I have ever worked with,” Friar said. “Over the years, he has re-invented much of our sell-side advisory structure, from our team of analysts and associates to our business development and engagement structure.”
Scharich began at Calder Capital eight years ago as an intern while attending Michigan State University. Today, he leads Calder Capital’s buy-side advisory division.
“Sam is a pureblooded and levelheaded entrepreneur,” Friar said. “Calder provided him with a launchpad, a fledgling division and he literally 10x’d it in a few years.”
Jones joined Calder as director of continuous improvement. She has advanced within her role, overseeing key operational and administrative roles, strengthening Calder’s infrastructure and ensuring the firm’s processes scale with its growth.
“Hanne came in and essentially took on three jobs, improved them and continued finding time to explore new initiatives,” Friar said. “I am not sure I’ve seen anyone work harder in my life.”
“Garrett, Hannelore and Sam embody the intellect, integrity, work ethic and leadership that have fueled our firm’s growth year after year,” Friar said. “As we enter this next phase of growth, this is the dream team.”
