Front Runner Consulting® started as an executive search business. Client-customers include turnaround & restructuring firms, advisory services, private equity groups, law firms, & investment bankers. Prior to starting Front Runner Consulting, Dave Marx was the number one recruiter within his office for one of the world's largest search firms.Because we work with business leaders & consultants who have first hand knowledge of capital needs, we operate as a “business recruiter” for thousands of private equity groups & strategic buyers that invest in businesses with annual revenues from $5 million to over $100 million. These investors realize the value of our contacts for relevant deal flow based on my i-bank experience.As a business recruiter, whether we place an executive with a company or a company with an investor, the process is very similar. As such, we work with buyers who finance executives looking to run a business but lacking acquisition capital (MBO opportunities). For business owners looking to sell their business, needing expansion capital, looking to recapitalize, needing to divest a subsidiary, or in a distressed situation, we can be a resource for capital. If you have access to capital, we can be a primary or additional funding resource.

This endeavor is based on my tenure with Time Inc. where I was responsible for print and digital forms of Time, Sports Illustrated, Fortune, Money, and LIFE. I am also the founding CEO of www.life.com, the web’s largest photo site; it is a joint venture between Time Inc. and Getty Images. This site attracts more than 7 million unique visitors and generates more than 100 million page views each month.When Dave said he has been a photo enthusiast for most of his life, I visited his website (www.davemarxphotos.com) and was very impressed with his images. With my exposure to countless photos, I classify Dave’s images as pro-am status - professional level images for someone not making a living as a photographer; Dave’s cycling photos and his Amazon gallery is of particular interest. I look forward to having Dave’s photos being part of our image collection.” - Andy Blau, SVP & Group GM, Time Inc.Instagram: @davemarx2016
