In addition to our investment banking experience, many senior Cappello professionals have also been successful entrepreneurs, executives, board members and investors. This operational perspective allows us to approach each advisory assignment with a clear focus on the unique aspects of our client’s industry and business, and how they are likely to be perceived by strategic and financial partners.

As a result of our comprehensive approach to due diligence and longevity in the sectors in which we advise, many of our clients request that we stay involved post-transaction as strategic advisors, investors or board members. Our long-term commitment to our clients is evident in our transaction experience and in the many examples where we have closed multiple transactions for the same client.
