Corporate carve-outs
Standing up divested divisions, multi-plant transitions, and cleaning up stranded costs.
Advisory
Private equity and complex M&A.
I work with private equity firms, independent sponsors, and family offices on corporate carve-outs, platform builds, and special situations. These are deals where sourcing, execution, and practical operating judgment matter as much as capital.
Services
Special situations
Distressed and complex M&A, covenant issues, and out-of-favor assets that need hands-on work.
Proprietary deal flow
Targeted, mandate-specific outreach that generates off-market opportunities aligned with your themes.
Sectors
Real businesses with moving parts.
My transaction and operating work spans a range of sectors with a common thread: physical assets, complex stakeholders, and room for operational improvement.

Metals, fabricated products, and contract manufacturing.

Engagement models
How we work together.
Most engagements take one of three shapes. Each can run on its own or lead into the next.
- 01
Deal flow mandates
Month-to-month retained sourcing focused on a narrow set of themes, with a clear expectation of proprietary opportunities rather than brokered deals.
- 02
Transaction support
Targeted help on live deals, including carve-out planning, operating model build-out, and early value creation plans.
- 03
Special projects
One-off work when a sponsor wants a second set of eyes on a difficult asset, a portfolio problem, or a new strategy.
Background
Nearly two decades of deals.
I’ve sourced, acquired, operated, and exited platform and add-on investments, often involving multi-plant or multi-division separations. Today I run mandates through GTA Companies.
