Seattle-Northwest Adds Housing, Energy Bankers

SAN FRANCISCO - Seattle-Northwest Securities Corp. has added experts in housing and energy to its roster of bankers.

Nicole Petersen has joined the firm as assistant vice president in its housing and real estate public finance group, the firm announced yesterday.

That announcement came a week after the firm announced that it has hired David Fife as senior vice president of its energy finance group.

Fife will focus on banking and advisory services for municipalities, public power issuers, project developers and energy funds.

Prior to joining SNW, Fife was president and chief executive of the Energy Consulting Group LLC, a private energy and risk management advisory company based in Utah.

He is a specialist in energy product development, renewables development and financing, emission trading and risk analysis, energy hedge recommendations, transmission reservations, and negotiations, according to Seattle-Northwest.

"With David on board, we now have a wider portfolio and a greater ability to interpret the big picture for our clients," Maud Daudon, the president and chief executive officer of SNW, said in a statement.

Peterson's most recent experience was as a project manager for Williams & Dame Development Inc., in Portland, overseeing master planning, urban design, and community development projects in Portland and Los Angeles.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to work closely with [SNW vice president of housing and real estate] Cynthia Parker in developing financing mechanisms to expand affordable housing programs in the region," Peterson said in a statement.

Seattle-Northwest has offices in Seattle, Portland, Boise, Salt Lake City, and Anchorage. q
