Execution Noble LLC, a leading investment banking and securities firm, today announced that it has hired Thomas A. Rinaldi as Senior Energy Desk Analyst to further build out the firm’s expertise in the sector.

Rinaldi joins Execution Noble with nearly 10 years of experience covering various aspects of the energy sector. In his new role, Rinaldi will conduct daily, ongoing sector specific stock analysis, primarily in the oilfield services, exploration & production, and refining verticals.

“We are committed to providing our customers with value added content and idea generation. To that end we will continue to complement our highly regarded sales trading team with senior desk analysts who truly understand their respective fields but will not be encumbered by having to publish traditional research,” Gary Cunningham, CEO, Execution Noble LLC said. “We will continue to create verticals that will leverage our international expertise and complement our pending merger with Banco Espirito Santo.”

Prior to joining Execution Noble, Rinaldi worked at Brencourt Advisors, a $2.5 billion Multi-Strategy Fund, as an Oil & Gas Equity Analyst/Portfolio Manager. Earlier in his career, Rinaldi was a Senior Equity Research Analyst covering offshore drilling contractors at Deutsche Bank Securities. He holds a Master of Business Administration in Finance from The Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude in Economics from Harvard University.

Execution Noble’s energy expertise includes capital markets, investment banking and M&A capabilities. The energy team is lead in the United Kingdom by Joe Philipsz, Head of the Power & Infrastructure Group and in the United States by Christopher Ruppel, Managing Director Capital Markets, and is active in both conventional and renewable energy.
