Before founding Spartan Capital Securities, LLC., Mr. Lowry held several leadership positions spanning his 25-year career in the securities industry. He built his acumen through executive leadership roles in investment banking and strategic business development.

Such transactions included IPOs, up lists, follow-on offerings, registered direct offerings, CMPOs, at-the-market offerings, PIPEs, traditional private placements (including pre-IPO and pre-up list bridge offerings), debt offerings, IPOs of SPACs, equity line transactions, and cross-border securities offerings. Additionally, he facilitated M&A transactions (including reverse mergers) and provided advisory services to public and private companies.

Through Mr. Lowry’s passion for philanthropy, he and his wife, Cynthia, established the Little John Foundation, which was borne from their belief that all children deserve to be supported through any medical, emotional, or financial crisis, despite the situation.

Through the Little John Foundation, they work to partner with charities that align with these values, such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC), and Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) as well as other charities that Mr. Lowry actively supports including American Heart Association, Wounded Warrior Project, and American Cancer Society.

Mr. Lowry resides in New York City with his wife and three children, with whom he enjoys spending most of his free time.
