Cortview Capital Securities has only been in business since September, but it has already landed its first celebrity client.
Downtown-based Cortview said Thursday that it is now the strategic adviser to Montel Williams and his various business ventures.
Williams, who became famous as the host of “The Montel Williams Show,” also apparently dabbles in the business world with his Montel Williams Enterprises.
Cortview, which has since been in expansion mode, will assist Williams’s company with deals including licensing and financial advisory services.
Cortview provides broker-dealer, investment banking and financial advisory services. It’s backed by the deep pockets of Warburg Pincus, a New York private equity firm that gave Cortview a $125 million to draw from as it expands.
Andy Brusman, Cortview’s managing director of investment banking, said in a prepared statement:
“We are excited to have the opportunity to work with Montel and his team. They have created an exciting brand with Living Well. We believe there are several areas to target for growth, and we look forward to playing a role and accelerating that process.”
“The Montel Williams Show” ran for 17 years until 2008. Williams’s business enterprise revolves around the Living Well brand, which sells and markets various health and fitness products such as books, exercise equipment and healthy cooking equipment.
