Mr. Becker specializes in sell-side M&A assignments for closely and privately-held businesses. To date, Mr. Becker has successfully closed in excess of thirty sell-side M&A cases, with a total aggregate value in excess of $1.2 billion. Mr. Becker is unique in that his twelve years of experience in the industry have been solely focused on advising middle market companies with valuations that range from $5 - $150 million. As a certified public accountant (CPA) and certified management accountant (CMA), Mr. Becker brings to CrossKeys Capital a wealth of financial and tax knowledge as it pertains to privately-held structures. His extensive background in valuation methodologies, coupled with personal relationships with over one hundred of the leading private equity groups focused on the middle market, enables CrossKeys Capital to better position its clients in the eyes of both strategic and financial buyers. Mr. Becker leverages his previous experiences to focus on industries not always in the limelight of the M&A marketplace, including aerospace, automotive, commodities, construction, direct marketing, distribution, entertainment, healthcare, light manufacturing, niche retail, and trade publishing. "The challenge in specializing on the sell-side of the M&A business is establishing credibility from the outset. The best way I have found to accomplish this objective is to be honest and forthright with both buyers and sellers. What initially attracted me to CrossKeys Capital is that the entire group takes great pride in being investment bankers and not merely intermediaries or business brokers. Service, reputation and ethics are of integral importance to the entire team at CrossKeys. |
