The securities business is a people-oriented service business. At Sutter, we believe our most important resource is our staff of professionals who have personally served scores of governmental, corporate and individual clients and investors over the past four decades.

Three of Sutter's senior public finance banking professionals, Frank Soriano, Ash Wood and Dennis Ciocca, have more than 90 years of combined experience in public finance. Two were senior officers at PaineWebber (and its predecessor firms) before co-founding Sutter, and one was a senior officer at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. The firm's senior corporate finance professionals, Robert A. Muh, Gilbert E. Matthews,  Ray Aronson,  Dave Pacini, and Fredric Selinger, have more than 150 years of combined experience as investment bankers. Sutter's principals have been directly responsible for the combined origination of more than $15 billion of fixed-income and equity issues during their careers. Joseph M. DuCote oversees the firm's trading and sales effort. Joe has more than 30 years of fixed income experience, provides the insight and innovation required to successfully complete transactions advantageous to the firm's clients in today's highly competitive financial environment. Gilbert Matthews, the head of the firm’s litigation support practice, has over 40 years of industry experience and has had responsibility for over 1000 fairness opinions. Ray Aronson has over 30 years of experience and is one of the industry's most experienced professionals in all phases of securities processing, clearing, and regulatory requirements.  Robert Muh has been the advisor to the debtor in possession or the creditors in numerous bankruptcy cases and he has extensive experience in all phases of mergers, public offerings, and private placements.
