We’re looking for a long-distance runner. Not the one chasing to the start – but the one who understands the weight of the finish line.
M&A is a marathon. You start with numbers, and end with people. In between is a field full of unknown curves – models, due diligence, drawn-out negotiations, and uncertainties that don’t resolve quickly.
That’s why we’re not looking for someone who craves speed. We’re looking for someone who values endurance. Someone who knows the real work starts after the LOI is signed. Someone who understands that every acquisition comes with its pros and cons – and your job is to keep them all on track.
If you know that every due diligence has a moment when everything wavers – but you stay composed.
If you know that valuations are never exact – but they still matter.
If you’ve felt that moment when Excel meets trust…
Then maybe you’re the one we’re waiting for on this leg of the journey.
