Lehman Brothers’ Richard Fuld to Speak in NYC in Late May

Richard Fuld, who was chief executive of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., has been largely out of the public eye since the firm collapsed in 2008. But that’s set to change next month.

The organizers of the 2015 Marcum MicroCap Conference said that Mr. Fuld will address conference attendees in his “first major public address since leaving Lehman Brothers in 2008,” the conference organizers said in a press release.

Mr. Fuld will discuss “the strategy employed by Lehman Brothers to become one of the world’s leading investment banks, aspects of the financial crisis, the current capital market environment, and the keys to success for today’s growth companies choosing to access the capital markets now,” the release said.

Still he hasn’t been entirely absent from deal making. In October, the Journal reported that Mr. Fuld advised a little-known company called OpenMatch Holdings LLC in its acquisition of the 130-year-old National Stock Exchange.

Mr. Fuld’s consulting firm, Matrix Advisors LLC, which he founded in April 2009, worked on that deal. Other clients of Matrix have included Ecologic Transportation Inc. and GlyEco Inc., according to regulatory filings.

Mr. Fuld served as chairman of the Lehman Brothers from 1994 to 2008 and as CEO from 1993 to 2008.

On Sept. 15, 2008, Lehman initiated the largest bankruptcy proceedings in U.S. history.
