I couldn't be more excited about next Tuesday's event. We will be on the beautiful JC roof with senior M&A leaders many of which have served our country 🇺🇸.
Veterans are often a great fit for the M&A community due to the skills and mindset they develop during their military service, which align with the demands of dealmaking and business leadership:
1. Leadership and Decision-Making Under Pressure
Veterans are trained to lead teams and make critical decisions under pressure, skills that are invaluable in M&A, where negotiations can be complex, and the stakes are high. They bring a sense of discipline and clear-headedness, which can make a significant difference in the fast-paced world of transactions.
2. Teamwork and Collaboration
M&A deals require extensive collaboration between multiple parties—buyers, sellers, legal teams, financial advisors, and more. Veterans are accustomed to working in diverse, high-stakes teams, making them natural collaborators who can keep a deal moving forward.
3. Strategic Thinking and Problem-Solving
Veterans are often excellent strategic thinkers, having been trained to assess risks, plan for contingencies, and execute complex missions. These skills transfer well to M&A, where long-term strategy, risk management, and tactical execution are key to successful dealmaking.
4. Resilience and Adaptability
The M&A process can be challenging, with unexpected hurdles and changes at every turn. Veterans are highly resilient, having learned to adapt quickly in the face of adversity, making them well-suited to the dynamic nature of M&A transactions.
5. Commitment to Service and Integrity
Veterans bring a strong sense of duty, integrity, and ethics—values that resonate in the M&A community, where trust and transparency are critical to building lasting business relationships.
By fostering an inclusive community that values the skills of veterans, the middle-market M&A space not only strengthens its talent pool but also honors the service of individuals who have contributed to the country’s security and well-being.
Next Tuesday will be an unforgettable evening of excitement and philanthropy at our Casino Night Benefiting Veterans on October 29 from 6-9PM at Jonathan Club in Los Angeles. https://bityl.co/SEFG
