The Los Angeles Business Journal has released its 2026 edition of the LA500, and Intrepid Investment Bankers is proud to announce that CEO Ed Bagdasarian and Chairman Jim Freedman have been selected for inclusion.
About the LA500
The LA500 is one of the Los Angeles Business Journal's most prestigious annual publications, recognizing the 500 most influential business leaders in Los Angeles across industries including banking and finance, technology, health care, real estate, and more. Inclusion in the LA500 is a highly selective distinction and one of LABJ's most anticipated recognitions of the year.
A Track Record of Leadership
This year marks Ed Bagdasarian's ninth consecutive appearance on the list. Under his leadership, Intrepid has continued to expand its industry coverage and advisory capabilities while remaining committed to its client-first, senior-led approach. Jim Freedman, co-founder of the firm, continues to play a pivotal role in shaping Intrepid's strategic direction and longstanding relationships across the business community.
Congratulations to Ed, Jim, and all of this year's LA500 honorees on this well-deserved recognition.
