Richard Smith worked together on the acquisitions of Coldwell Banker LLC and PHH Corporation; Sam Katz, Ken Esterow and JoAnne Kruse worked together on the acquisitions of Galileo International, Inc., Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. and Gullivers Travel Associates. We believe this experience will be valuable in identifying acquisition targets and executing on an initial business combination.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0000940274 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 30 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 15 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
