[edit] History
The firm was co-founded in 1982 by Chris Lewis and Richard Riordan. From inception through the late 1990s, RLH invested largely the capital of its principals. Based upon the track record compiled during that period, the firm expanded its capital base, starting in 1999 by raising private equity funds from predominantly institutional investors. The firm has raised two such funds, the most recent of which totaled $265 million and had a final closing in early 2007.[7] RLH currently is led by a team of eight investment professionals who collectively have over 100 years of private equity experience, with an average tenure of 11 years at RLH. The firm’s team includes Chris Lewis, Murray Rudin, Michel Glouchevitch, Rob Zielinski, Ken Hubbs, Kevin Cantrell, and Ryan Smiley.
