As the Director of Operations at Benchmark International, Stacey specializes in optimizing the M&A lifecycle and transforming complex deal processes into streamlined, efficient operations. Her focus is on leveraging technology and lean principles to eliminate bottlenecks, enhance team performance, and ensure that every deal from initial valuation to successful closings executed flawlessly, ultimately maximizing value for our clients as they exit their businesses.

Stacey is deeply passionate about building systems that allow our M&A experts to focus on what they do best: creating successful M&A deals.
Passion
Stacey believes that by choosing to support family-run businesses and founders, we make a meaningful impact that goes beyond a single transaction. These businesses are often deeply rooted in their communities and serve as the “backbone of the economy,” balancing legacy and values while boosting local communities, supporting vendors, creating jobs, and funding local services and infrastructure.
Her passion is to support these companies just as they have supported many of us with the same personalized service, strong core values, and commitment to integrity while prioritizing the protection of the business owner’s legacy they worked so hard to build.

Experience
As Director of Operations, Stacey bridges the gap between client expectations and operational execution, optimizing daily workflows to maintain a high-performance environment and a consistent standard of excellence at Benchmark International. For buyers and sellers, she wants them to know that she drives efficiency, creates value, ensures smooth transactions, and delivers results while having a strategic impact on their deal’s success.
Her background enables her to bridge the gap between high-level operational strategy and the practical realities of business ownership. Having owned a franchise for over a decade, Stacey understands the personal and professional weight of a business owner’s journey. She uses this empathy to ensure our teams remain highly responsive to the entrepreneurs we serve. Her tenure at JPMorgan Chase and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) instilled the standard of excellence and analytical rigor required to manage complex, high-performance environments. She applies these disciplines to streamline daily operations and hold teams accountable to world-class service standards. By leveraging her experience managing diverse teams and large-scale workflows, she ensures that Benchmark’s proprietary M&A processes are executed with the precision and agility our clients expect.
Stacey appreciates Benchmark International’s “people-first” culture, which recognizes that employees are the foundation of the firm’s rapid growth and success. The company’s commitment to its employees is a testament to the value placed on its clients.
