John did a lot to actually help us get more value for our company. He negotiated some significant deal points at the end of the transaction that we were extremely pleased with. John got us a great deal from both a monetary and non-monetary point of view, including the carve out of our specific roles post-closing. John’s communication skills were terrific. We always had a handle on where we were in the deal and, more importantly, where we were going. John has a keen business sense and he really understood our business and what we wanted and we still use him as a sounding board for a variety of business issues. John brought several strategic issues and opportunities to our attention that we would have never considered. That translated to maximizing the deal structure while tailoring terms to our particular needs. Years post-closing, we still consider John a valuable partner.

"It was clear to us that having the right M&A Advisor was critical to achieving the outcome that best met our needs and John was instrumental in that process.  He prepared us well and expertly advised us through the entire process.  I have no hesitation in stating that John’s guidance ultimately allowed us to make the best decision for our company."

"We had been through a sales process before, but, John took the process to an entirely new level. He made it very easy for us and was in front of every issue. Our business was family owned and the entire family was very appreciative of the job that was done in selling our business. Since advising us on selling our business, John remains a trusted advisor for a number of our new business ventures."

"John did an outstanding job and was able to achieve a sales price that was well above our expectations. John coordinated and managed our transaction beautifully. He was diligent and covered all the bases. John not only handled our transaction, but, was available well after our closing to deal with a variety of post-closing issues with that same level of perseverance and care we experienced during the transaction."

"I am convinced that we would not have closed our transaction without John’s efforts and his ability to work with our buyer through some very difficult issues. John had a terrific understanding of our business and was able to communicate that very well to potential buyers. He also had a great understanding of what I wanted to do and what would be the best deal for me. John was not only our M&A advisor, but, he truly became an overall advisor to me on a personal level and tax level. He was extremely knowledgeable across all fields of the deal and made a huge difference."

John was a true professional and I enjoyed working with him. He also helped me with some administrative issues in the business as I transitioned the business to my management team.

As a rapidly growing software company, I was very conflicted about the path for the future. John helped me work through those issues and I was able to put together a clear vision for the future. He is a great advisor.

"I had a number of issues in my business when John and I first met. Over the course of a couple years we were able to work through them and re-focus the business on our core competencies."

We purchased one of the company’s John advised. I really do not think the deal would have gotten done without him. His in-depth knowledge of the business and the extent of his role went well beyond what we normally see in an investment banker.

John was a pleasure to work with and, although he was a tremendous advocate for his client, he also helped us achieve a great acquisition.
