Salomon Kamalodine
Managing Director, Co-Head of Innovations Investment Banking
Contact| Salomon Kamalodine is Co-head of the Innovations Investment Banking Group at ROTH Prior to joining ROTH, he spent 20 years at B. Riley Securities in a variety of capacities. He began his career as a technology equity research analyst covering special situations exhibiting mispriced securities because of complexities such as major litigation outcomes, operational and/or financial restructurings, recapitalizations, technological breakthroughs, industry disruption and undervalued intellectual property. He subsequently transitioned to alternative asset management to support an investment vehicle seeking exceptional risk-adjusted returns from concentrated positions in overlooked or misunderstood publicly traded companies, seeking to unlock value through constructive engagement with management teams and boards of directors. In 2010, he returned to the investment banking division to establish a Los Angeles i-banking office and lead the creation of an issuer advisory group. He specialized in advising public and private technology clients on mandates related to mergers and acquisitions and capital formation, including buyside M&A, sellside M&A, fairness opinions, tender offers, follow-on offerings, initial public offerings, secondaries, ATM offerings, rights offerings, private equity financings, de-SPACs, bond issuances and debt financings. Throughout his career, he has sourced, structured and closed transactions for clients operating in vertical software, SaaS, consumer tech, telecom, storage, gaming, adtech/martech, semiconductor, capital equipment, media and cybersecurity. Mr. Kamalodine has been featured on LABJ’s most influential investment bankers list and has published several papers on intellectual property financings. He also contributed to the SEC’s rule-making process for the JOBS Act arguing in favor of regulatory relief for technology companies accessing US capital markets. He obtained his B.S. degree in Financial Economics from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California and later earned his M.B.A from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. |
