NEW YORK, June 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BKCM LLC
announced today that Wall Street veteran Frank Hourigan has joined the firm as Chief
Operating Officer. BKCM is an independent investment firm
specializing in cryptocurrency and blockchain-focused investment
opportunities. The firm manages a cryptocurrency hedge fund and the
newly launched publicly traded REX BKCM ETF (NYSE: BKC).
In his new role, Hourigan will oversee all aspects of strategic
planning and business operations, with a special focus on
continuing the rapid growth of the firm's hedge fund business.
Hourigan brings extensive expertise in both capital markets and
cryptocurrency, having co-founded and served as CEO of Satis Group
LLC, a boutique investment bank focused on digital assets.
Prior to that he served as Managing Director for ICO Investment
Banking at Argon Group. The depth and breadth of Frank's
professional relationships and experience will bridge the gap
between traditional and crypto investors on an institutional
level.
"This business requires a unique skill set. In addition to
capital markets expertise, it requires a deep understanding the
intricacies of crypto-blockchain technology and the entrepreneurial
drive to bring emerging opportunities to clients," said
Brian Kelly, CEO of BKCM LLC. "Frank
delivers in all three of those areas, especially the fast-changing
cryptocurrency space, where he has hands-on experience issuing
ICOs—both security and utility tokens, and a proven ability to
raise capital for numerous blockchain related investments."
In all, Hourigan brings 21 years of progressive leadership roles
in management, sales, and marketing. He has spent much of the last
decade on Wall Street in senior capital markets roles, as a
Principal at Needham & Company, a boutique investment bank
focused on growth technology companies, and as a Director in equity
research sales at the leading global asset manager
AllianceBernstein.
BKCM is excited to add an executive of this caliber to the
leadership team and believes Hourigan is the exact right fit, in
terms of skills and culture, to help guide the firm in its next
phase of growth.
