The M&A Advisor has promoted David Fergusson from senior managing director to the newly formed position of president with leadership responsibility for the firm’s day-to-day operations.
The new role is effective immediately.
"The M&A Advisor has benefitted greatly from David Fergusson’s vision and his expertise in business acceleration since he joined our firm’s advisory board in 2005. I personally credit David, a veteran brand and company builder with significant international experience, for the significant development of our firm since he assumed the role of senior managing director in 2010," says The M&A Advisor’s founder and chief executive Roger Aguinaldo.
This announcement comes as The M&A Advisor continues to broaden its leadership services portfolio and is launching a formal expansion into international markets. Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, The M&A Advisor has established a premier network of mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and financing professionals through its research, reporting, publishing, awards and exclusive "thought leadership" symposiums.
"I have greatly enjoyed the collaborative experience of working with Roger Aguinaldo and The M&A Advisor team. Introduced to The M&A Advisor at the annual conference in 2004, it was one year later that I became a member of the advisory board and started participating in the company’s evolution. I was first attracted to the firm by Roger’s pioneering spirit and his unwavering integrity, the two characteristics that led to the creation of this unique business serving the world’s top M&A professionals. Nearly a decade later, I am honoured to be charged with leading the company’s vision to deliver unparalleled service to the M&A, financing and turnaround industries," says Fergusson (pictured).
Over his 30-year career, Fergusson has developed, acquired and managed over 40 product and service brands and companies across the North American and international markets. Prior to joining The M&A Advisor in 2010, he was a founding partner of Eaglequest Golf and Paradigm Partners, a venture capital management firm that practiced in small cap business investment and operation. The partnership conducted over 25 acquisitions during Fergusson’s tenure and was credited with executing some of the country’s top consolidations in transportation and recreational services.
