Snyder to Join Tiger Capital Group as Managing Director

BOSTON, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiger Capital Group, LLC today announced that veteran corporate advisor and attorney Bradley W. Snyder will be joining the firm as a Managing Director.

From his base in the advisory, restructuring and asset disposition firm's Boston office, Snyder, 53, will focus on business development and the structuring of acquisitions, sales and other deals. "Brad's years of experience in engineering complex, multi-asset deals involving public and privately held  retail and manufacturing companies, licensed brands and intellectual property will make him a valuable member of our team," said Daniel Kane, a Tiger Capital principal. "We have worked with Brad on a number of projects over the years and are pleased to bring him into our fold."  

Snyder's business career spans 25 years, including 13 years as a partner at the law firm of Looney and Grossman, LLP, where his practice areas included corporate transactions, financing and restructurings, and 12 years at Gordon Brothers Group, LLC, where he was a Principal and Managing Director. In the latter position, he led deal teams on several key projects, including the acquisitions of Casual Corner/Petite Sophisticate and Laura Secord Candy, a C$180 million financing for Eaton's Department Stores and subsequent sale to Sears Canada, and the repositioning of over 80 department stores following Federated's (now Macy's) acquisition of May Department Stores. Snyder was also instrumental in the firm's launch of a business unit that purchased, sold and licensed brands and other intellectual property. Brands and companies under his direction included The Sharper Image, Linens 'n Things and Bombay Company.

More recently, Snyder was an equity partner and Operating Managing Partner at Infinity FS Brands, LLC, where he was instrumental in the equity investment in Linens 'n Things as well as the debt financing in Fredericks of Hollywood. In 2010, he launched Bradley W. Snyder Enterprises, a Boston-based advisory and investment group. Recent projects included advising Canada's Hudson's Bay Company on the disposition of some 220 Zellers locations to Target Corp. and the related sale of C$1 billion of inventory, along with furniture, fixtures, equipment and intellectual property. He has also worked in concert with Tiger Capital on the disposition of 32 Hart Stores in eastern Canada.  

Earlier this year, under his namesake firm's umbrella, Snyder was also appointed President of CP Licensing Inc., a Creative Playthings Company involved with leveraging the 60-year-old brand into such ancillary categories as juvenile furniture, toys, infant and toddler wear, footwear and home goods.  After joining Tiger, Snyder will retain his interest in Bradley W. Snyder Enterprises and will remain President of CP Licensing where he will be bringing Creative Playthings products to market.

Snyder holds a J.D. degree from the Boston University School of Law and a B.A. from George Washington University.

Commenting on his move to Tiger, Snyder said: "It is with tremendous excitement that I am joining the professionals at Tiger Capital Group. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to leverage their remarkable experience and reputation with my industry relationships and history of adding value and strategic perspective."
