apartment Edison Business Advisors
As a capital markets and M&A specialist with 30+ years of experience, I help business owners navigate complex sell‑side and buy‑side transactions with confidence. I have structured over $1 billion in at‑the‑market equity raises, equity and equity‑linked (PIPE) deals, private placements, and have closed transactions up to $250,000,000. My background includes originating deals for a hybrid private equity hedge fund, derivatives experience at Barclays Bank, and advising family offices and high‑net‑worth clients on tailored transaction solutions.
I focus on middle‑market M&A in the Northeast Tristate and Mid‑Atlantic regions, delivering detailed valuations, targeted buyer outreach, and disciplined negotiations to maximize exit value while protecting confidentiality. Acting as a sector‑agnostic generalist, I leverage a broad network of qualified buyers and deep capital markets expertise to drive seamless, profitable outcomes for business owners seeking a strategic sale.
