West Park Capital, IPO and Reverse Merger Specialists,

Hires Executive Team to Expand National Growth

Los Angeles, CA....WestPark Capital, innovators in the Financial Services industry and recognized for having revolutionized the IPO and Reverse merger process, is expanding its national platform with the recent hire of two leading financial services industry executives, Frank Salvatore and Douglas Kaiser. “Mr. Salvatore and Mr. Kaiser are both highly successful industry veterans who will be instrumental in the creation and execution of our national growth plans,” says Richard Rappaport, CEO of West Park Capital. Rappaport is the creator of the “WRASP,” a revolutionary financial services process in which a company becomes publicly traded through a reverse merger and trades directly onto a Senior Exchange, either the AMEX or the NASDAQ, completely bypassing the OTCBB.


Frank Salvatore Joins WestPark Capital as Managing Director, Brokerage and Sales

“Along with its full suite of financial services,” says Frank Salvatore, a more than twenty-year veteran of the financial services industry, “WestPark Capital has a tremendous platform to grow its national presence with the innovation of the company’s signature product, the Wrasp.” Salvatore joins WestPark Capital as Managing Director, Brokerage and Sales. During his career, Salvatore has held executive posts at significant regional and national firms such as Joseph Charles and Associates, and Dawson James Securities, where in the latter he served as Managing Partner. Salvatore is noted for his talent in not only developing retail distribution channels but his forward thinking approach in realigning corporate strategies circa 2005 with the shifting economy and changes in the financial services arena to develop fee-based business. “Mr. Salvatore will be using his highly developed skills and broad range of experience to further develop West Park’s Retail Brokerage presence and enhance the firm's distribution capabilities,” says Mr. Rappaport.

Douglas F. Kaiser, Joins WestPark Capital as Managing Director, Brokerage and Sales

The other half of WestPark Capital’s new national development team is Douglas Kaiser, a highly credentialed financial services professional who began his career in 1988 as a retail broker for a small regional firm in White Plains, New York. Kaiser’s experience coupled with exemplary supervisory, compliance and operational skills proved invaluable when he went on to become a Founding Partner of Joseph Charles & Associates (JCA) in 1991. As a principal in the organization, Mr. Kaiser excelled in the areas of Trading Operations, as well as Market Making; during the latter stages of his career at JCA, his successes also included appointment as Head of Sales. Kaiser also served as Managing Partner while at Dawson James Securities. “We believe there is extraordinary opportunity for West Park Capital, not just in attracting top-tier brokerage talent, but in also helping companies seeking access to U.S. capital Markets,” says Kaiser, who along with Salvatore will be focused on growing the firm's retail brokerage presence while simultaneously focusing on expanding the organizations distribution channels. “It’s not often that you get to work for a company that is a genuine innovator in an industry,” confirms Salvatore. “Richard Rappaport and WestPark Capital have literally brought together the best financial elements of an IPO and reverse merger,” says Kaiser, who will be teaming with partner Salvatore out of WestPark’s new offices in Boca Raton, Florida.
