As a President’s Club business broker with Transworld Business Advisors, I help owners maximize exit value and close with certainty through a disciplined yet adaptive process. Selling a business is often a once-in-a-lifetime event, and the difference between an average outcome and a premium one comes down to preparation, positioning, and control of the buyer process. I bring more than 35 years of experience in sales, business ownership, and complex deal execution, including a technology career with over $1B in total sales and leadership roles with companies such as Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, and AT&T. Today, I apply that enterprise-level deal discipline to lower and mid-market transactions—helping clients avoid common pitfalls, reduce deal friction, and achieve stronger outcomes. My approach is grounded in: • Quality valuation to anchor pricing and reduce friction in both price negotiations and loan processing • Clear positioning of the business to attract qualified, motivated buyers • Structured buyer processes that create competition and protect leverage • Deep SBA and deal structuring expertise, including effective use of seller financing • Creative problem solving and relentless pursuit of the finish line. I have worked with a wide range of businesses, including service-based companies, manufacturers, and online sellers, often involving real estate and multi-asset portfolios. My focus is not just getting a deal done, but getting the right deal done win-win. If you are considering selling or buying a business, I would love to meet you.
