Financial Advisory Firm Establishes Office in Fort Lauderdale

| SFBW Staff

Citing its need to continue expanding its business outside of New York’s financial district and wanting to capitalize on Fort Lauderdale’s progressing business environment, PJ SOLOMON has chosen the city’s downtown corridor for its next satellite office.

“Establishing a base in Fort Lauderdale helps us keep pace with our rapid growth,” says Marc S. Cooper, CEO of PJ SOLOMON, a leading financial advisory firm based in Manhattan, New York. “Our new office gives us easy access to clients in the southeast. Fort Lauderdale also provides an excellent business climate and highly-qualified, diverse workforce.”

The Fort Lauderdale office in Carr Workplaces at the Bank of America Building, 401 E. Las Olas Blvd., will house bankers and support staff from the firm. The company advises its clients on various financial services, including acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, recapitalizations and restructuring across numerous industries.

“The financial services industry has a second home in Greater Fort Lauderdale. PJ SOLOMON’s expansion to the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale reinforces our reputation as a business-friendly location of choice for the financial services industry,” says Bob Swindell, president and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, which is Broward County’s official public and private partnership of economic development.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
