Landon Jones, Principal

Landon is a skilled professional with nearly 17 years of diverse experience spanning energy finance, subsea engineering & construction, and logistics. In January 2024, Landon founded South Palisade Capital, a private investment firm seeking to acquire and grow lower middle market businesses in the industrial and energy services sectors.

Prior to launching South Palisade, he served as a Director on the Global Energy team at UBS Investment Bank in Houston. During his time at UBS, he led project teams on various M&A and capital market transactions across the traditional energy and energy transition sectors.

Before joining UBS, Landon worked in the subsea construction industry as a Senior Subsea Engineer at TechnipFMC. In this role, he acted as a project manager for small-scale offshore construction projects and conducted vendor contract negotiations, working to achieve significant cost reductions while delivering projects on time and within budget.

Prior to joining the private sector, Landon realized his childhood ambition by joining the United States Marine Corps, where he served as a Logistics Officer, attaining the rank of Captain. During his time in the Marines, he led multi-disciplinary teams as he managed logistics for large-scale combat support projects and oversaw the logistical support for personnel during two overseas deployments and dozens of training exercises.

Landon earned his MBA from Rice University in 2019. He also holds a Master of Science in Structural Engineering from the University of Texas and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Texas A&M University.

He currently lives in Houston, TX, where he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children.
