Robert Horak

I am driven by the opportunity to work on important transactions with intelligent, creative people who are focused on building businesses that are the backbone of the American economy.

Bob raises debt capital and arranges financings for a variety of transactions, including acquisitions, mergers, dividend recapitalizations and refinancings. His clients include private equity sponsors, independent sponsors and private companies.

With over 30 years of experience in lending and advisory roles, Bob has long-standing relationships and deep experience across the private capital markets. He has become a trusted advisor to private equity clients as well as private business owners, providing informed perspective on the complex and continuously evolving financing markets, so they can focus on operating and growing their businesses.

Prior to joining Lincoln in 2004, Bob was a lender for 13 years. His lending experience includes three years in GE Capital’s global sponsor finance business and almost 10 years at Heller Financial.

Bob earned a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of Illinois.
