Think Boldly, Work Creatively

Directors lead our deal teams and are responsible to design, execute and manage acquisition searches. They provide strategic consulting to assist clients in developing and/or refining their acquisition strategies. Supported by the GPI process and research team, they strategically approach owners of privately-held companies to initiate transactions and advocate on behalf of clients. In support of closing primarily non-auction deals, Directors provide buyside mergers and acquisitions services. This is typically in support of the frontend of the deal process, from initial contact of an owner, to a signed letter of intent. They are also responsible for GPI business development activities.

Ideal qualifications include at least 5 years of M&A experience preferably as a buyside or sellside advisor serving the middle market or in a related role for a private investment firm or large acquiror. A candidate must be able to manage multiple projects and competing demands and have proven business development ability. A history of working with financial sponsors and/or large publicly traded company corporate development teams is greatly valued.
