Grateful for the opportunity to present to Linscomb Wealth

‍I had the privilege of presenting to a group of Linscomb Wealth advisors, discussing the Hallmarks of a Successful M&A Transaction.

The presentation touched on each component of the lifecycle of a successful recapitalization or outright sale of a lower middle-market business and why selecting the right transaction advisory team and team leader can increase the likelihood of an outcome that exceeds expectations.

It was especially rewarding to speak with such an engaging group of professionals, who demonstrated great commitment to their clients through their questions and comments. Thank you all for your hospitality and participation.
I look forward to providing additional information and insights as future circumstances dictate.

Today marks the end of an era at GaP.
After years of building, leading, and inspiring, our partner Matt Gilbert has decided to step away from GaP. While change is inevitable in any business, this one hits differently.

From the earliest days of GaP, Matt brought a rare blend of strategic brilliance and human warmth. He has the uncanny ability to see the story behind the numbers, the people behind the deals, and the future behind the uncertainty.

His departure is not just a professional transition; it’s a deeply personal one for many of us. We’ll miss the steady calm he brought to negotiations, the way he could turn a tense boardroom into a place of possibility, and yes, even his relentless optimism when the rest of us were buried in spreadsheets.

Matt Gilbert, wherever your next chapter takes you, know that you leave behind a firm forever changed by your presence. GaP will continue to grow, evolve, and push boundaries, but your fingerprints will always be on our DNA.
Here’s to new beginnings, and to the enduring impact of a truly exceptional leader.
