LLOYD GREIF
President; CEO
Greif & Co.
After rising to the top of his field at Sutro, Lloyd Greif resigned as vice chairman and head of investment banking of the company and as the longstanding company’s top producer to launch his own investment bank, Greif & Co., in 1992.
After more than three decades, some of Greif’s many accomplishments include Bacardi’s multi-billion-dollar acquisition of Patron Tequila, four M&A transactions involving Bumble Bee Seafoods, four M&A transactions involving Bristol Farms, the IPOs of Skechers USA, U.S. Filter, Smart & Final and LA Gear, the sequential sales of the largest independent real estate brokerages in California (Jon Douglas and Fred Sands), the leveraged buyout of legendary Pinkerton’s Security, CRH plc’s $1.3 billion acquisition of C.R. Laurence Co., and multiple M&A transactions for family-owned conglomerate PMC Global. He also routinely lectures on negotiations at all three of his alma maters—UCLA, USC and Loyola.
