Under Brian’s leadership, DB&A’s outstanding work has resulted in multiple repeat projects.  In one instance, a client had 14 additional projects. In another case, a client had 20 additional projects based on the dramatic results achieved on the first project.

Brian’s professional philosophy is to expect excellence of himself, his peers, his people and his leadership.

“Private Equity and Leveraged Buyouts should strongly consider utilizing DB&A to achieve improved EBITDA for underperforming companies in their portfolio, particularly with today’s valuations,” states Brian.
