Speaking & Podcasts
Craig is an engaging guest simplifying the complex, and providing memorable anecdotes and stories about business, M&A and achieving life-changing outcomes for entrepreneurs and families.
He approaches business, value creation, and M&A from his own experience as a serial entrepreneur and helps first-time sellers or buyers on how to win at the M&A game and how to achieve “outlier outcomes” in the sale of their business.
Craig is plain-spoken as a fellow entrepreneur turned CEO of an investment bank, and brings the keys to unlocking liquidity to the middle market business without the pretense and arrogance of wall street.
