BETE has merged with EXAIR

Eric has over 30 years of experience advising private and public companies, private equity investors and entrepreneurs on M&A transactions.

Prior to co-founding Northborne, Eric was a senior investment banker at Piper Jaffray and a partner at Greene Holcomb Fisher. Following BMO’s acquisition of GHF, he became Head of BMO Middle Market M&A. He began his career as a corporate attorney at Dorsey & Whitney.

Eric earned a JD from the University of Minnesota Law School and a BA from Carleton College. Eric has served on the adjunct faculty at the University of Minnesota Law School, the board of directors of the Wilder Foundation, and as a discussion leader for the Anderson Center for Management and Leadership Development.

Fun fact: Eric hails from Northfield, Minnesota, famous for Defeat of Jesse James Days, Malt O Meal cereal, St. Olaf College, Eric’s alma mater Carleton College, and the proudly quirky slogan “Cows, Colleges, and Contentment.” After living in St. Paul for more than 25 years, he’s discovered the State’s Capital City offers plenty of colleges and contentment of its own. The cows, however, are still in Northfield.

Chris has nearly a decade of experience in M&A and corporate finance, with experience executing M&A transactions across the industrials, infrastructure and services sectors.

Prior to joining Northborne, he worked on middle-market M&A transactions at Cowen & Company and held finance roles at General Electric.

Chris earned a BS in Finance and Marketing from the Carroll School of Management at Boston College.

Fun fact: Chris is a proud Eagle Scout and enjoys passing on his love of the outdoors to his two young children.
