"In previous M&A roles, I've managed both buy-side and sell-side transactions. My learnings can be boiled down to one point of view - to maximize the sale of your business, your number one priority should be to surround yourself with the most highly qualified, industry-specific, M&A advisors, attorneys, and investment bankers as possible."
