Livingstone bolsters healthcare practice with key new hire

Livingstone, the global middle-market investment bank, announced today that Eric Weldzius has joined the firm as a Director. He is based in Chicago and will bolster Livingstone’s growing healthcare practice.

“We are delighted Eric has joined the firm to better serve our clients in this important and growing sector,” said Jim Moskal, Co-Head of the healthcare practice at Livingstone. “His collaborative, entrepreneurial approach and dedication to client advocacy make him an excellent cultural fit at Livingstone, and his expertise and industry relationships will be a boon to our client base.”

Eric joins from Houlihan Lokey, where he focused on advising healthcare services companies. There he advised on a range of transactions, including sell-side M&A, buy-side M&A, capital raise, and restructuring transactions. His transaction experience spans the healthcare services sector, including physician practice management, retail healthcare, pharmacy services, and outsourced services.

“Livingstone has built an outstanding track record delivering best-in-class service advising private company owners and financial sponsors across the healthcare spectrum. I look forward to partnering with Jim Moskal, Ryan Buckley, and Mark Carl as we continue to grow the healthcare practice,” shared Eric Weldzius, Director at Livingstone.

David Modiano also joins the firm as Associate Director. Previously, David worked at City Capital Advisors, where he completed over 25 M&A, recapitalizations, and private placement transactions totaling over $1B in transaction value over the course of his nine-year tenure.

Moreover, the firm has expanded and recognized the efforts of team members across its European offices, announcing new hires and promotions in the German, Spanish, and Swedish markets.

“In a time of incredible change and uncertainty, Livingstone has distinguished itself as an investment bank clients turn to and trust,” commented Ryan Buckley, Partner at Livingstone US. “We wouldn’t be able to offer the best-in-class service without the high-caliber individuals that make up our firm and its culture. We are fortunate to welcome Eric and David and congratulate our global team members on their continued success.”
