Profiles in Public Finance: Landon Boehm

For more than 100 years, Baird has built its fixed income business the right way – by bringing on the top professionals in the industry and giving them all the tools and resources they need to serve their clients best. For Public Finance Lead Banker Landon Boehm, that includes an employee ownership culture committed to helping him build up his business.

Baird’s commitment to building up my business plus the employee-owned culture convinced me to make the move.

How long have you been at Baird?

I started with Hilliard Lyons back in 2017 and joined Baird when the two firms merged in 2019.

What were your initial concerns after you learned about the merger?

I was already familiar with Baird as a leading competitive underwriter in the public finance space. However, that was my view as an outsider – I didn’t know what the experience would be like working with Baird and how much support I would be getting from my new ‘home office.’

Why did you ultimately decide to join the firm?

During the onboarding process, Baird made it clear they were excited to have me join the team, that they were looking forward to investing in me and my practice. That plus the employee-owned culture convinced me to make the move.

What have your experiences been like following the merger?

I’ve been able to work more closely with business leaders to increase our productivity and establish a broader business development strategy.  Our clients appreciate the strong support Baird provides for transaction delivery and execution.

Have your expectations upon joining Baird been met?

Baird has been an exceptional place to work. I’ve truly enjoyed growing as an individual and a practice.
