Genereus

Experience

Before joining Benchmark International, Leo was an operating partner in a private equity-backed portfolio of companies. Their mission was to build an industrial services portfolio that delivered comprehensive service solutions for critical process equipment, value for clients, and accelerated growth for operating companies and investors. The company completed more than 30 M&A transactions in six years. With responsibility for sourcing, structuring, negotiating, conducting, and integrating deals, the work was gratifying and solidified his passion for M&A. What drew him to work at Benchmark International was the impressive quality of the team, everyone’s energy, enthusiasm, and shared love for M&A, and the opportunity to share his deal experience in support of sell-side transactions.

Education

University of Connecticut - Mechanical Engineering

Gedreven

Benchmark International speelde een belangrijke rol bij het identificeren van een overnemende partij wiens visie aansluit bij de onze. Het team bracht meerdere aanbiedingen op tafel en creëerde een competitief biedproces onder enkele van de topnamen in de branche. Hartelijk dank aan het Benchmark-transactieteam voor de buitengewone inspanningen om deze deal te realiseren. *

Hoewel Benchmark gedurende het hele proces betrokken was, bleek uit hun hulp bij het inbouwen van extra waarde in de deal nadat de initiële taxatie van de overnemende partij was ontvangen een echt bewijs van hun unieke expertise en beheersing van het proces. *

Het Benchmark-team heeft de verkoop van mijn bedrijf gefaciliteerd vanaf de eerste marketingfase tot en met de definitieve overeenkomst en afronding van de deal. Ze handelden op een hoffelijke en professionele manier en boden de inzichten en hulp die ik nodig had als beginnende verkoper. Ik zou Benchmark ten zeerste aanbevelen aan iedereen die de verkoop van zijn bedrijf overweegt! *
