NEW YORK, NY, July 13, 2009 -- Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc., a full-service investment bank, today announced the expansion of its corporate finance team serving middle market companies with the appointment of Dallas-based Nancy Huggins as a Managing Director. Ms. Huggins, who has more than 20 years of related investment banking experience, will cover mid-cap industrial and consumer companies in the Southwest, including those in the energy industry.

“Our firm continues to expand, and we are delighted to have Nancy join us in adding Texas and Oklahoma, as well as other nearby states, to our focus,” said John Sorte, Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Joseph. “Nancy has been active for many years in this region, and has worked with many middle market companies in the area. She brings a depth of experience not typically available to these companies at a time when midcap companies generally, because of Wall Street’s changing character, are underserved.”

Ms. Huggins previously held senior investment banking positions at Bear Stearns, Wasserstein, Perella & Company and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation. Active locally, Ms. Huggins has been Chairman of Hope Cottage Adoption Agency and a long time member of the Rhodes College Board. She holds a MBA from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and a B.A. with distinction in Economics and Business Administration from Rhodes College.
