Experience
I am an M&A engagement manager with Kinsella Group, an investment banking and business advisory boutique. I assist business owners in the sale of their companies or in the acquisition of other companies. I’m the one who contacts the buyers, negotiates and structures deals, oversees the due diligence, works with the attorneys to draft the purchase agreement, and ultimately gets the deal across the finish line.
I’ve advised companies in the the following industries: food processing equipment, drink dispensing equipment, marketing services, guarding, cleaning, staffing, apparel distribution, medical data marketing, telecommunications, and systems integrators.
I have over 20 years experience, often as a manager or owner, in industries ranging from retail to venture capital to consulting to data encryption to waste water processing. And more.

Other

And I even host the rare and occasional but extremely valuable networking event.
