Background/Experience:
A past senior and front-line manager for business, sales, and marketing professionals. I have been lucky to have been involved with several startups, turnaround, and finally the development stages of the business for several industries.
Later, I enjoyed teaching at the University level for a “For Profit” school and California State University, Sacramento. My courses were Business Management, Marketing, and Salesmanship courses with a combination of real-world experiences and our university’s excellent format which contributed to that long-term difference.
Finally, I have worked with Presidents and Business Owners who wanted to sell their businesses in the Northern California marketplace. My services included a marketability study or business valuation, packaging the business, completing a Confidential Business Review, seeking SBA funding, and the management of the transaction for the seller and buyer.
I look forward to assisting you with your business sale, acquisition, and valuation.
