CINCINNATI, Jan. 6, 2020 – RKCA announced that Eric Hornung has joined RKCA as an Associate.
Eric joins RKCA from Duff & Phelps, a New York City-based financial services firm focused on valuation, corporate finance, and other situational advisory, where he served as Vice President. At Duff, Eric had a wide range of responsibilities including bankruptcy advisory, economic damages & valuation within the context of litigation, compliance and regulatory consulting, and investigative services. He also co-founded and served as project manager for the Duff & Phelps Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Task Force, a cross-business unit group which worked with professionals across the firm and world to offer services to emerging technology companies. Prior to beginning at Duff & Phelps, Eric graduated from Ohio State University.
Eric also co-founded The Up Company, a media company which produces the acclaimed Upside podcast and produced the award-winning documentary, Test City USA. Upside, which has been named as a Fortune Magazine “Top Business Podcast” examines the world of startups and startup investing outside Silicon Valley. Eric co-hosts the weekly program with Jay Clouse of Unreal Collective.
“As a native Ohioan, I was really surprised to find a company like RKCA when I moved to Cincinnati from New York. The combination of the firm’s identity as an investment bank that also does direct investment and the fast growth of the business is really exciting,” said Eric. “What’s more exciting is how much more the firm can grow. RKCA has a solid reputational foundation and strong leadership in place. The firm is able to leverage its understanding of buying, operating, and selling businesses for the benefit of its advisory clients. I look forward to working with Brent, Tom, and Mono to help the firm continue to achieve.”
