GormanThayer LLC Evolves into Hidden River Capital LLC

06/29/09

  GormanThayer changes its name to Hidden River Capital and introduces Saralinda Sabloff as the firm’s newest partner. Mark Gorman, Founder, explains that the name change is reflective of the firm’s growth and evolution: “our name change captures our expanded presence and the addition of experienced Investment Banking professionals”. He further comments that the new name is derived from one of the firm’s primary guiding principals: “we seek to work with each of our clients to find and unlock hidden sources of value”.
  The Hidden River team believes that maximizing value is about understanding the unique goals of each of its clients and delivering the right alternatives and solutions.  In turn, they transform those solutions into actions, seeking to dramatically improve results.
  The name also has historical significance. Legend has it that the Schuylkill River means hidden river, named by the Dutch explorers who had failed to discover the river on their first pass, as it was concealed by dense vegetation. Hidden River Capital also unveils a new logo – a fly fisherman wading in a river. The logo reflects the firm’s view that like fly fishing, there is a high level of skill and expertise in pairing companies and general partners with investors that are not only compatible but additive.

  •   January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
