Centerview Partners also advised Exxon, while Morgan Stanley and Bank of America secured advisory roles with Pioneer. A transaction of this size typically results in tens of millions of dollars worth of fees for advisory firms. The chairman of the firm, Tom Petrie, was a co-founder of Petrie Parkman and served a vice chairman at Bank of America before the current Petrie was created. Three of those - Andrew Rapp and Mike Bock in Denver, as well as Jon Hughes in Houston - have been with the firm since its days as Petrie Parkman.
