Bill Nack

Overview

It takes hard won experience to unlock full value in business transactions. I enjoy combining my own experience with other Managing Directors on every assignment. This heavy senior team approach is long overdue in investment banking, and I am proud of the tremendous value we are uniquely able to deliver to our clients.
