Dylan Riley's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

At my core, I am an academic with a die-hard passion for valuation and grammar, of all things, but I assure you that I can hold a constructive dialogue while suppressing the need to make corrections. I am an investment banker in the technology sector with a focus on enterprise software, particularly in security and infrastructure software, vertical software and cloud-based application software and services. I have been working with the technology team at Stifel for nearly two years as an analyst. Prior to starting at Stifel, I was an Associate at Anvil Advisors, which provides valuation and advisory services to a client base spanning the gamut from seed funding to pre-IPO and across a wide range of subsectors including social media, crowdfunding, ecommerce, enterprise software and even forensic corporate security consultancies. Through my time spent at Anvil Advisors, I have developed an ability to value and perform liquidation waterfall analyses companies with capital structure of any complexity. Before starting at Anvil Advisors, I interned with Pavilion Capital Partners, a New York-based growth equity partnership focusing on rare, opportunistic investment opportunities. I had the fortune of studying the iron ore industry in great depth, particularly in the eastern hemisphere, and had the opportunity to travel to Perth, Karratha, Port Hedland and Sydney in the diligence process for opportunities. In 2011, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Stern School of Business at New York University, earning my Bachelors of Science in Finance and Marketing, with a minor in the Business of Entertainment, Media and Technology. I focused largely on the entertainment and media sectors during my time at Stern and managed to intern for nine months at the Walt Disney Company in ABC Family's Sales and Strategy Planning Department (during the pilot release of Pretty Little Liars, I will add), at Billboard Magazine and at Bertelsmann's magazine printing arm, Brown.Investment Banking Analyst @ Mergers, acquisitions and capital origination activities in the technology space with a focus on Enterprise Software & SaaS From September 2013 to Present (2 years 1 month) Greater New York City AreaBoard Member @ As a board member of the NYU Venture Community, I help to coordinate networking events and engender alumni relations at NYU and the Polytechnic Institute of NYU.
