They knew him as representing a firm

The context: http://lengish.com/texts/difficult/a-future-businessman.html

The brokers knew him as representing a well-known firm



I think that The brokers knew him as representing a well-known firm = The brokers knew him as who represents a well-known firm.

Am I right? Produce your own variants.
