TKO Miller, an investment banker supporting privately owned business, brought Jim Rogers, former vice president of corporate development for BrandSafway, on board as managing director and co-head of its industrial services practice. Rogers will expand the scale and capabilities of TKO Miller’s growing Industrial Services practice, which provides advisory solutions to middle-market and corporate clients.

“The hiring of Rogers will be transformational for our industrial services practice,” said Tim Oleszczuk, managing director and co-founder of TKO Miller. “Jim brings a long history of executing domestic and international industrial services transactions while at BrandSafway. In addition, his work at Honeywell in security, fire detection, and personal protection equipment will fortify other areas of our practice.”
