Ronald Kramer (business)
Ronald Jay "Ron" Kramer (born 1959) is an American business executive and former investment banker. He is the CEO of Griffon Corporation, an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in New York City, New York.
Kramer received a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1980 and a Master of Business Administration from New York University Stern School of Business in 1981. From 1983 to 1995, he worked as a corporate finance specialist at Ladenburg Thalmann, a New York-based investment bank. In 1992, he married Stephanie Elizabeth Blau, the daughter of Harvey R. Blau, the CEO and chairman of Griffon Corporation (then known as Instrument Systems Corporation). Kramer joined Griffon's board of directors in 1993 and was elected vice chairman in 2003. After serving as CEO of Ladenburg Thalmann from 1995 to 1999, Kramer became a managing director at investment bank Wasserstein Perella & Co. and its successor firm Dresdner Kleinwort. Kramer left Wall Street in 2002 to become president and director of Wynn Resorts, a Las Vegas-based developer and operator of high end hotels and casinos.
When Griffon's residential garage door and installation services divisions came under severe duress during the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble and subprime mortgage industry, the board of directors turned to its vice chairman Kramer to guide the company through the global financial crisis. In April 2008, Kramer succeeded his father-in-law Harvey Blau as CEO of the company. To improve Griffon's balance sheet, Kramer secured a new $100 million revolving line of credit for Telephonics from JPMorgan Chase, exited the residential installation services business, refinanced Griffon's senior debt, and raised about $250 million from a stock offering and investments by Goldman Sachs and a $5 million investment by Kramer himself. Griffon's recapitalization eliminated the need to meet near-term debt obligations and built a cash cushion for future acquisitions. Having rebuilt Griffon's equity base, Kramer began to reconfigure the company for future growth. To be closer to Wall Street, he moved Griffon's headquarters from Jericho, New York to its present offices at 712 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan in 2009. In the 2010s, Kramer oversaw the international expansion of Griffon's wholly owned subsidiaries through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, such as the $542-million purchase of Ames True Temper in 2010.
