With more than three decades of healthcare M&A, valuation, transaction advisory, and investment banking experience, I enjoy partnering with clients to help navigate complex transactions. In my current role as Managing Director of Root Partners, I lead the Transaction Advisory Service Line, focusing primarily on sell-side M&A and advisory for healthcare provider organizations. I have significant expertise and experience in physician practice and ambulatory surgery center transactions.My credentials include:✅ FINRA Series 7, Series 63, and Series 79* licenses✅ Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA)✅ Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA)✅ MBA in Finance and Accounting✅ Frequent speaker, author, and expert witness on healthcare transactionsPrior to joining Root Partners, I co-founded a national boutique healthcare valuation firm, which I built from concept to an industry leader within 17 years before selling it and ultimately exiting to pursue other opportunities. Thereafter, I pursued a healthcare investment banking leadership role and also led healthcare valuation teams at two large management consulting firms. Most importantly, as a fellow entrepreneur, I understand the importance of taking calculated risks, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence in meeting long-term strategic objectives. I apply these same principles to my professional engagements, using my experience and knowledge to ensure successful transactions.I am eager to discuss your M&A, valuation, and investment banking goals.
