As a mergers & acquisitions advisor and business broker I specialize in working with the owners of exceptional businesses whose value cannot simply be expressed through their assets and earnings multiples. The value of these businesses are also found in the commitment to their employees, the company culture and the distinct benefits the company provides to its customers and greater society. I work closely with these business owners to attract the most qualified buyers, bring the best possible price and provide continuity to the unique culture and practices of the businesses that they have created. I have expertise in operations management, business development, strategy and sustainability. Over my 20 year professional career I have been an entrepreneur, a quality auditor and the global director of an $8 million program within a professional services company in the manufacturing and distribution sectors. This broad career path gives me the ability to work comfortably with a wide variety of business owners to understand their needs and to provide my clients with professional, responsive and diligent service. I am a member of both the California Association of Business Brokers and the International Business Brokers Association.
