SMART Management has been acquired by Netalytics (a portfolio company of Prairie Capital)

Mark has 15 years of experience advising middle-market companies on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and financings. He has completed transactions for entrepreneurs, private equity sponsors and public companies across a broad range of industries.

Prior to co-founding Northborne, Mark was a Managing Director at Cowen, where he led the Healthcare Services effort, and a Principal at Greene Holcomb Fisher. He began his career practicing M&A law at Kirkland & Ellis, advising private equity clients on complex corporate transactions.

Mark earned a JD/MBA from Indiana University–Bloomington and a BA from Augsburg College.

Fun fact: Mark is passionate about golf, though remains very average in his abilities. He’s played for 35+ years but still struggles with those 3 foot putts and has yet to find a coach who can fix his slice. If he’s not working or with his family, he’s most likely on the course or on the way to one.

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.
