There are no Mulligans when selling a business. Owners get one shot to get it right. For such a big event, going it alone without an experienced investment banker by their side simply puts too much at risk: - Leaving money and opportunities on the table- Being outgunned and outmaneuvered in ways that put them at a real disadvantage - Agreeing to terms that are ultimately regretted down the road ...are just a few of the risks. All real. All likely. All completely avoidable!Selling a business is fraught with hazards best served by working with an experienced investment banker who knows how to navigate them. A Sherpa. As a Managing Director with Madison Street Capital, that’s my role. As a Sherpa for my clients, I and my colleagues at Madison Street provide the expert guidance they need to ensure they successfully reach their summit - which is selling their business with terms & conditions and at a price that's most favorable to 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙈 as the seller, rather than for the buyer.

Raising capital, securing investors. Regardless of what you call it, it's the efforts undertaken by investment bankers like myself to get businesses the capital they need to tackle real-world issues; like funding growth and expansion, an acquisition or buyout, or to simply sustain the business in times of market downturns or economic uncertainty. However, acquiring capital with the right structure, at the right cost and with the right partner is often just as important the capital itself. I successfully and consistently did so for my clients.

As Founder and Chief Marketing Solutionist of The Marketing Solutions Lab, I was in the supply & demand business.My clients had products (supply) and every one of them needed customers to buy those products (demand). In order for that to happen, they needed lean cost-effective marketing and business development strategies that didn't just look cool, but that actually worked. I developed those strategies.Once customers were acquired and sales generated, my clients needed to figure out...1. how to keep those customers 2. how to get even more of their business I and The Marketing Solutions Lab designed and executed strategies that further accomplished these goals.

I curated a team of marketing professionals that expanded InterCall's presence into global markets in EMEA, APAC, BRICs. I achieved success by developing Joint Ventures with companies that had existing global market penetration and products that complemented InterCall's. This greatly reduced the high investment costs typically associated with entering and establishing presence in new markets, and expanded product reach in those markets.
