New operating structure effective following the close of ORIX USA’s majority acquisition of Hilco Global
CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hilco Global, a diversified global financial services company, today announced its new operating structure through the creation of two divisions—Hilco Global Professional Services and Hilco Global Capital Solutions. Both divisions will report to Hilco Global’s Founding Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey B. Hecktman. In this new structure, the firm will operate as a subsidiary of ORIX Corporation USA, following the completion of ORIX USA’s acquisition of a majority equity interest in the 38-year-old financial services and advisory firm.
“Bringing together ORIX USA and Hilco Global offers the marketplace a powerful combination of intellect and deep financial resources to help our clients maximize asset value and return on investment,” said Mr. Hecktman. “By streamlining our business, Hilco Global emerges as a truly integrated financial solutions company with the ability to deliver valuation, monetization, advisory services and capital solutions through asset-based private credit lending and principal investing.”
- Hilco Global Professional Services will expand the firm’s current suite of consultative practices, continuing to deliver asset valuation expertise and advisory solutions that build on its reputation as one of the smartest asset appraisal firms in the world. Hilco Global intends to grow this division significantly, adding new strategic and operational advisory services to its current professional services practices in restructuring and turnaround, real estate, performance solutions, capital transactions, intellectual property, corporate finance, litigation support, cyber security, geopolitical consulting, and more.
- Hilco Global Capital Solutions will focus on expanding the firm’s asset management investing, particularly through asset-based private credit lending, which will benefit from ORIX USA’s capital and lending expertise and Hilco Global’s asset understanding and origination capabilities. Additionally, the Capital Solutions division will continue to use its balance sheet investing and asset monetization expertise to buy and sell assets across the retail, wholesale, commercial industrial, manufacturing real estate, and intellectual property industries.
In connection with this simplified organizational structure, Hilco Global also announced several executive management leadership roles which will report to Founding Chairman and CEO Jeffrey B. Hecktman. David Kurtz, will serve as the CEO of Hilco Global Professional Services and continue as Vice Chairman for Hilco Global.
