What’s your favorite part of your job?
Relationship building. I love the challenge of taking a name on a prospect list, making contact, and generating opportunities.

Why do you work at Oaklyn Consulting?
I love deal sourcing and generating leads, especially on the buy/sell side. Oaklyn provides a unique model and resource to business owners who see value in our team’s experience.

Why does Oaklyn Consulting’s work matter?
As a business owner myself, it’s always important to be thinking not only about growing the business, but also how to exit the business when that time comes. Oaklyn’s process and resources are invaluable to assist in making these decisions.

What do you think sets Oaklyn Consulting apart from other investment banking consultants?
The experience the Oaklyn Consulting team provides, as well as the simple hourly-based financial model.
