Managing Director – Mergers & Acquisitions

A well-established M&A advisory firm with over 35 years of experience, this organization specializes in delivering outstanding results for business owners across a wide range of industries. With a performance-based approach, the firm is solely focused on maximizing client outcomes. It utilizes proprietary valuation tools and a comprehensive review process encompassing over 60 parameters to help clients unlock significant value—often between 10–50% or more—prior to going to market.

The firm provides advisory services for partial exits, full strategic sales, recapitalizations, and growth-driven acquisitions.
