We are very excited to welcome Brett to the team, who for the last 15 years has built Stephens’ Fintech coverage.

Stephens has a legacy of long-term customer partnerships and of providing excellent strategic advice, capital raising, and M&A advisory services.

Mr. Huff added: “There is soaring demand for innovative solutions that improve and transform payment products and services. As such the boundaries between payments, fintech, and information services are blurring. For well-positioned and well-capitalized business services companies, these changes provide compelling organic and inorganic opportunities for growth and competitive differentiation. I’m excited to join my colleagues on Stephens’ investment banking team in helping such organizations compete in a dynamic and ever-evolving industry.”

Mr. Huff received his A.B. in social studies from Harvard University and received an M.B.A., focusing on finance and strategy, from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
