I ask CEOs all the time: What’s your “why”? For me, my passion for M&A comes from the fast-paced culture while always maintaining a long-term vision for project success. It’s an artistic process that blends psychology, math, and finance. It requires creativity in thinking, communication, and strategy. I enjoy bringing those together to deliver the best service for our clients. We have a high-performing team that is intelligent, driven, and focused on the same goal of making our clients’ objectives a reality.
