Based in Sandler O’Neill’s New York offices, Sandler will report to Brian Sterling and William Hickey, principals and co-heads of investment banking.

Dorr will lead a team of bankers focused on asset management and related sectors, significantly expanding the firm’s efforts in serving these companies.

Dorr has over 15 years of asset management advisory experience and will join the firm from Jefferies Group, where he served as managing director and led the company’s asset management investment banking group.

Sterling said that the strong industry relationships Aaron has built over the years brings exceptional depth to the firm.

"Establishing a dedicated corporate advisory practice focusing on the asset management industry and related sectors is a natural extension of our franchise," Sterling said.
