Ed is a business veteran with over 30 years of experience across a broad range of companies. He has extensive expertise, working from Fortune’s global top-10 down to start-ups and locally owned and operated small and medium businesses.

He has also consulted across a broader range, including media and entertainment, hospitality, transportation, food ingredients manufacturing, solar energy, finance, healthcare, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.

Ed’s technology background, though, is one of his defining credentials.

He has also developed global professional services organizations from the ground up, including creating practice tools, methodologies, business models, and systems.

Ed’s tally of M&A work to date is well over $2 billion across more than a dozen deals (with an average deal size exceeding $150M). Plus, his deal involvement ranged from strategy and targeting to deal-making and due diligence through the full business integration of acquired assets, something very few M&A advisors at this level can claim.

His rare combination of skills and experience brings substantial value to the clients Ed works with, helping them quickly identify and achieve their business objectives.
