Truelock Joins Roth Capital Partners

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Mitch Truelock has joined Roth Capital Partners as a Managing Director, Investment Banking, according to Byron Roth, Chairman and CEO.

Truelock was recruited to help Roth in its new role as an OTCQX Designated Advisor for Disclosure (DAD). The OTCQX, a new market tier offered by Pink Sheets, LLC, requires listing companies to name a DAD that will assist them in providing credible disclosure to the market and meeting OTCQX listing requirements.

“Becoming a DAD for the OTCQX offers our firm an opportunity to work with, advise, and, in fact, discover younger emerging U.S. and foreign companies. Mr. Truelock’s extensive first-hand experience with small and micro-cap companies, as well as his legal background, makes him a welcome asset to our firm and our clients,” said Roth.

Most recently the CEO of a startup consumer products company, Truelock also spent two years at Sorrento Networks, a public technology company in San Diego, where he managed sales and marketing and was responsible for corporate development for the company.

Earlier, Truelock spent four years as a vice president in investment banking at Robertson Stephens and RBC Capital in San Francisco, where he worked on numerous public offerings, private placements, and mergers and acquisitions. Prior to his investment banking experience, Truelock was a corporate attorney with Cooley Godward in San Francisco.

Truelock has an LLM in Corporate and Securities Law from Georgetown University (with Distinction), a J.D. from Southern Methodist University (Cum Laude), and a B.B.A. in Accounting from the University of Texas (Summa Cum Laude).
