Description

Kenneth M. Gordon, BA, LL.B. - Founder & PresidentMr. Gordon began his career as an associate lawyer with the law firm Heenan Blaikie LLP between 1989 and 1992, where he specialized in corporate/commercial law, primarily focused on tax and entertainment syndications involving film and television productions. In 1992, Mr. Gordon co-founded Trilogy Capital Corporation, a private securities firm, which served as an agent primarily for the syndication of film and television offerings. In 1996, Mr. Gordon founded EquiGenesis Corporation as principal, to continue the business of Trilogy Capital. By early 1999, Mr. Gordon had participated in more than 35 film and television investment syndications and had raised approximately $600 million. In 1999, Mr. Gordon and EquiGenesis were retained to co-manage national sales efforts for Sentinel Hill Entertainment Corporation, a promoter of media-related structured finance products. On December 31, 1999, Mr. Gordon became a partner and 25% owner of Sentinel Hill Ventures Corporation, which formed a joint venture with Alliance Atlantis Communications Incorporated in 2000 to become the largest private promoter of media-related structured finance products in Canada. From 1998 to 2001, the Sentinel Hill group of companies successfully completed transactions involving almost $4 billion of film production, representing production services for well over 200 feature films and television productions. In October 2002 and again in February 2003, EquiGenesis was retained by Norfolk Capital Partners (“Norfolk”) to co-manage the distribution of a tax-assisted financing for the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club. During each of these periods, Mr. Gordon successfully oversaw EquiGenesis as it raised approximately $250 million (although on both occasions the transactions were not closed). Since late 2003, EquiGenesis has raised approximately $420 million in private placement limited partnership offerings from private investors, and, in addition, have generated $167 million in contributions to Canadian non-profit organizations and charities. Mr. Gordon received a B.A. from Dalhousie University in 1985 and an LL.B. from the University of Western Ontario in 1988.
