His leadership and consistent pursuit of excellence across all facets of our firm make him an invaluable team member for our next chapter of growth.”

His background also includes investment banking experience with D.A. Davidson. Nolan holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Accounting from Northern Illinois University and is a CPA.
Eric Speicher comes to Excellere from Houlihan Lokey’s Business Services group in Atlanta, where he joined as an Analyst before earning a promotion to Associate in July 2023.

Eric earned his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from Boston College’s Carroll School of Management.
“Nolan and Eric embody the caliber of talent we’re proud to add to our firm – not just for their analytical and critical thinking skills, but for the character, intellectual curiosity, and collaboration they bring to our team,” said Brad Cornell, Managing Partner. “They are exactly the kind of colleagues we want alongside us on the journey as we continue to build Excellere.”
