Hall Capital announced today the creation of an investor relations office to provide a focal point of communications and services for investors in the firm’s various private equity, automotive, real estate and energy investment partnerships.
Fred J. Hall, Managing Partner of the third-generation family owned investment business, said David Holt will head the new office as Director of Investor Relations and Wendy House will expand her role at Hall Capital to include Associate Director of Investor Relations in addition to her position as Vice President of the Fred Jones Family Foundation.
“Our success the past 95 years in creating partnerships with other family owned enterprises as well as working with entrepreneurs and innovators across the country to provide them the capital to grow and build their businesses resulted in a steady increase in the number of investors,” Hall said. “I have come to recognize that Hall Capital should initiate an office of Investor Relations to build on the momentum we have created from investing in small to medium size companies.”
Hall continued, “David will play an important role in strengthening and executing our investor communications and relationship strategies. His broad and diversified background in law, business and public service makes him well suited and qualified for this new position. David is well respected locally as well as nationally, and I am pleased he has agreed to join our growing firm to provide leadership for our newly established investor relations group.”
In response to joining Hall Capital, Holt commented, “I’ve been privileged to work with the Hall family for the past several years on civic initiatives while watching the tremendous growth of the family’s investment business. I am honored to join this dynamic company and accomplished team and look forward with high anticipation to supporting our investors.”
Holt, an Oklahoma State Senator, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from The George Washington University and Juris Doctorate from Oklahoma City University. His public service career includes working with former United States Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and United States President George W. Bush. Before his election to the Senate in 2010, Holt served in the administration of then Lt. Governor Mary Fallin and as the longtime chief of staff to Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett. Holt recently ran unopposed for a second term.
“I am also pleased our longtime associate Wendy House has chosen to expand her role with our company by joining David in our investor relations group,” Hall said. “Wendy has done an exceptional job managing our Fred Jones Family Foundation. Her impressive communications, organizational and administrative abilities will serve our investors well.”
House joined Hall Capital in 2007. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Oklahoma. Respected in the Oklahoma City community, House has voluntarily served in leadership positions on several non-profit organizations.
