Experience From Every Side of the Table

I know what buyers look for, because I was one.

I have sat in the buyer seat, reviewing companies, building valuations and deciding which deals to pursue. I've seen what makes a buyer lean in and what makes one walk away. I'll prepare your business to answer the hard questions before a buyer asks them.

I know how to run a process that creates competition.

I've prepared sell-side materials, built M&A models and run sale processes for industrial companies. The best outcomes come from preparation and from having more than one serious buyer at the table. I bring that same discipline to every engagement, sized for a business like yours.

I know what investors and lenders focus on.

Most buyers borrow to fund an acquisition, and private equity buyers must also win approval from an investment committee. I've underwritten leveraged loans, fielded investor questions on public equity offerings and defended investment memos to get committee approval. I know how to frame your story so the deal doesn't stall at the finish line.

And I know closing isn't the end.

I've worked on post-acquisition integration, so I understand what matters to your employees and customers after the sale. I'll help you find a buyer who's prepared to take care of what you built.
