Denver Business Journal Exclusive

A former president at the former Green Manning & Bunch investment banking firm has joined forces with two other investment bankers to launch a new firm that opened Tuesday.

Warren Henson, who was the president for about 10 years at Green Manning & Bunch, an affiliate of CoBiz Financial, has partnered with investment bankers David Hieb and Tim Dailey to form Peakview Partners LLC, specializing in work with privately held, middle market companies across the country.


Green Manning & Bunch was a 26-year-old middle market investment bank thought of by some as one of Denver’s godfathers of M&A. It was acquired by CoBiz in 2001.

Henson left Green Manning & Bunch earlier this year, about the time when CoBiz closed the investment banking affiliate in February. Henson said he had been wanting to start his own firm for some time. He had worked with Hieb and Dailey in the past and they shared a similar philosophy.

Hieb and Dailey have been partners in the boutique investment banking firm Dailey Partners, specializing in mergers and acquisitions of $5 million to $75 million.

Peakview Partners, at 1610 Wynkoop St. in Denver, will provide mergers and acquisitions and private placement services, Henson said. The firm will provide business owners with their goals, whether it is achieving liquidity or raising capital for internal and external growth.
