Dan Ramsden

Dan has been active in finance, markets and strategy, at large global institutions as well as smaller boutique firms, for over twenty years. He has covered the media and technology segments, through all of their transformations and transitions, since the mid-‘90s, and has been involved in private and public, equity and debt, early- and late-stage, investment and acquisition transactions, as principal and advisor. Approximately half of Dan’s finance career was with BMO Capital Markets, where, as managing director, he started and helped to build out the institution’s U.S. media investment banking practice. Since leaving BMO Capital Markets in 2002, Dan has been a managing director with two New York based boutique firms founded and run by veterans of established organizations such as Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Bank of America and Citigroup. Dan founded the predecessor firm of CoRise at the end of 2009, where he was joined by several partners to form the merchant banking firm CoRise in 2011. He joined Oberon Securities in 2014 to head up the firm's digital technology practice, and where he established a specialized focus area for networks client coverage. He joined the social network StockTwits in 2017 as CFO & Strategy Officer. In 2013, Dan published The Age of Convergence, a collection of essays on the digitized economy, and followed this up with Tools for A New Trade in 2016, a similar collection about the key value drivers and financial consequences in this new environment.
