As a Founding Partner of Cornerstone International Alliance, it has been my great fortune to have been able to work with some of the finest M&A advisory firms in the world since 2018 when the Alliance was formed. My Alliance partners have sharpened by skills, expanded my knowledge and continuously shared best practices so that we are all better in representing our clients.

Learning from, and collaborating with other CIA members is a hallmark of my lower middle market practice. We enjoy a sharpen-the-sword culture that makes us all more effective professionals.

A great benefit of CIA is deal collaboration.  No matter how many tools and resources we use, there is no comparison to the collective knowledge and experience of this alliance.  On our monthly calls, we are able to “pitch” a deal we are working on and inevitably we will receive help from other members.  CIA members love to get their partners in front of their contacts.  I have seen this collaboration time and time again.
