Patrick Lagrange will lead the charge to build the investment arm of CSA
Continental Shelf Investment Capital, Inc. (CSIC) is pleased to announce that Patrick Lagrange is joining the firm as its new Managing Director.

I’m thrilled to be part of this effort,” said Lagrange.
Hailing from New Orleans, Lagrange brings with him nearly two decades of experience investing in and advising companies in a variety of capital markets, M&A, and restructuring transactions. Lagrange began his career as an attorney working for the oil industry through the early 1990s. He then made a career shift that would allow him to pursue his interest in finance by earning an MBA from New York University. After that he worked with several leading investment and financial advisory firms in the Northeast. He joins CSIC from Carl Marks Advisory Group LLC, a leading middle market New York-based investment bank and financial advisory firm where he served as CEO of the firm’s broker/dealer affiliate and head of its strategic research unit.
Lagrange has played a leading role in the corporate restructuring industry.

In addition to his work at CSIC, Mr. Lagrange will serve as President of Pelagic Strategic Partners LLC (Pelagic).
