dan@nearearthllc.com

Dan Ramsden is a Managing Director of Near Earth LLC, focused on private placements, M&A advisory, and client coverage in sectors including New Media, Publishing, Broadcasting, Entertainment, and Communications Towers. Mr. Ramsden’s banking career began in 1990 with Bank of Montreal, where he was a Director actively involved in leveraged buyouts and highly structured financings. In 1994 Mr. Ramsden was asked to join the Bank’s start-up investment banking operation (now BMO Capital Markets) as a Managing Director, responsible for the development of a Media & Communications U.S. investment banking practice, providing private placement services (equity and debt), M&A advice, and public equity and debt underwriting. In 1999 Mr. Ramsden’s responsibilities were expanded to include credit-related products and soon thereafter also private equity investments for the Bank’s proprietary fund. He remained active in all these areas (with a Media & Communications focus) until his departure in 2002.

During his tenure with BMO Capital Markets predecessor organizations, Mr. Ramsden executed more than $10 billion in transaction volume, constituting financings, placements, underwritings, and advisory mandates, in nearly all the major Media & Communications sectors. Most recently Mr. Ramsden was a Managing Director at Bentley Associates, where he specialized in the Media, Communications, and Information Technology sectors and assisted middle-market clients with Private Placement and M&A advice.
