Experience in practice

Selected experience & results

$60M+ specialty-chemical sale

Working for Corporate Finance Associates, Orca sourced the seller and ran a targeted process that led to a Texas private-equity buyer. The transaction closed about nine months after the first outreach.

$49.5M healthcare staffing transaction

Orca sourced the buyer for American HealthCare Capital through a single outreach conversation. The transaction closed roughly 20% above the original valuation target.

Infrastructure platform and add-on acquisition

For Ashbridge Partners, Orca’s work led to an infrastructure platform acquisition in Mississauga and a $10M-plus-revenue add-on in Atlantic Canada. Both were completed within eighteen months for a Toronto family office.
