As an organization committed to the advancement of the financial services community, Piedmont was pleased to support this year’s program. The evening provided a valuable forum for thought leadership, meaningful relationship building, and insight into trends shaping global markets.
A highlight of the evening was the keynote address delivered by Paul D. Horvath, CEO and Co-Founder of Orchard Global, moderated by Dierdre Bolton, Partner & Head of Executive Development of Prosek Partners. Mr. Horvath shared timely perspectives on the private credit markets, global credit cycles, and emerging opportunities in alternative asset management. Against the backdrop of recent headlines in the private credit markets and the demand from retail investors for liquidity from an otherwise illiquid asset class, his remarks could not have been more timely.
As a proud sponsor, Piedmont enjoyed the opportunity to engage with industry peers, clients, and partners throughout the evening. Our participation reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting professional development and contributing to forums that foster collaboration and innovation within the Washington, DC investment management community.
