The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation has named noted Dallas skier and financial leader Julie Silcock to its Board of Trustees. Silcock, who has 25 years of investment banking experience in the Southwest, is presently co-head of Southwest investment banking for Houlihan Lokey.
Silcock will join a board of approximately 70 leaders of American business on the Foundation which supports the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding.
“Julie is an avid skier who has singlehandedly energized the Dallas ski community to help support our athletes,” said U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt. “We are proud to have her join our Board of Trustees both for the business background she brings and her enthusiasm for athletes.”
Prior to joining Houlihan Lokey this spring, Silcock was founder, managing director and head of Citigroup Global Market's Dallas Investment Banking Franchise, which she established in 2000. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts cum laude from Princeton University and a Masters of Business Administration from the Stanford Business School, she started her career with Credit Suisse in New York and was later a senior managing director at Bear Stearns and a managing director at Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette in Dallas.
“I am thrilled to be joining this Board of Trustees that is so passionate about skiing and things we can do to support the Olympic athletes,” said Silcock. “Over the past several years I have developed a strong interest in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association and am now eager to be even more integrally involved.”
Silcock has been very active in the Dallas community, leading fundraising efforts for a variety of charitable causes including the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding, Princeton and the Stanford Business School. She is an avid skier, spending as much time as possible in Vail, CO. Her son, James, is a student at Princeton. She will host a fundraising event at their Dallas home, featuring top Team athletes in September.
