Doug Sherrod
Managing Director
Doug has been a business originator in corporate finance for the natural resources sectors for over 35+ years, with comprehensive transactional experience in project development financing; asset acquisition, divestiture & strategic investment; and price risk management.
Prior to co-founding Artemis, Doug led the corporate finance advisory practice at CPM Group LLC providing investment banking services in M & A, project and acquisition financing, and commodity price risk management to corporate clients in the precious, base and specialty metals sectors. He and his team advised on financing for the acquisition and development of green field/operating mining and oil & gas assets throughout the world.
Immediately prior to CPM Group, Doug worked for a New York-based family office restructuring a portfolio of mining and oil & gas equity investments, both at the asset and corporate level, in both public and private companies, to recover value and manage risk. During that engagement, Doug acted as the CFO of Emex Corporation, a public company engaged in precious metals exploration in North America and developing proprietary gas-to-liquids technology using the Fischer-Tropsch process.
At Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, Doug was a team leader, running the natural resources sector business in the firm’s project finance department. The team subsequently added successful coverage of energy and power sector clients. The team closed in excess of $3 billion of financing for capital expansion, acquisition and project development.
Working on the metals trading desk at Deutsche Bank-Sharps Pixley, Doug was a corporate finance originator and transactor serving precious and base metals mining companies throughout the Americas. This business integrated both price risk management and corporate financing services for corporate clients in the mining industry.
Doug started his banking career in natural resources at Citibank in the Petroleum, Metals & Mining department in New York. There he was responsible for global relationship management and new business origination primarily with Fortune 500 clients in the natural resources sectors. This also included debt underwriting, price risk management, restructuring, valuation and capital markets issuance.
Doug holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
