Leon Capital Group Appoints Travis Pittman to Launch Family Office and Private Capital Advisory Services

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leon Capital Group, a diversified holding company for a privately-owned group of entities, today announced that Travis Pittman has joined as Managing Partner, Strategic Investments.

The new platform will provide bespoke, data driven insights that address the unique complexities of the family office ecosystem — an asset class underserved by traditional providers — while also supporting private equity sponsors and other capital market participants throughout the investment lifecycle.

Mr. Pittman has over 25 years’ experience scaling highly differentiated teams and service line offerings, enabling Leon Capital Group to accelerate and expand its family office and private capital advisory services and general partner investing strategies.

Mr. Pittman spent 13 years with Houlihan Lokey, where he was a Managing Director and founding member of the Transaction Advisory Services practice, later serving as Advisory Markets Leader, responsible for leading client development, strategy and service line innovation.

“Over the last several years, there has been a massive proliferation in the number of new private capital platforms launched, and this is forecasted to continue on a hyper-growth trajectory,” said Mr. Pittman. “This surge isn’t just a trend; it’s a strategic response to innovation, and the growing demand for patient, flexible capital and partners who can drive shareholder value through expertise, data and products.”

Prior to joining Leon Capital Group, Mr. Pittman co-founded and led the Transaction Advisory Services practice at Portage Point Partners, a middle-market focused business advisory, interim management, and investment banking firm. He subsequently launched and led the firm’s Private Equity Coverage strategy and was a member of the Executive Leadership Team.

“Leading a holding company actively engaged in M&A and capital market investing, I have personally witnessed the need for a broader and differentiated advisory platform that aligns with and serves the unique needs of family offices,” said Fernando De Leon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Leon Capital Group. “As a previous client of Travis’, I am confident we will build an industry-defining offering under his leadership.”
