Partner, Advisory Practice

Role

Acquisition.com is on a mission to make real world business education available to everyone. Our Advisory Practice is the engine, making this mission a reality for thousands of business owners. Since launching last year, we’ve served 2000 clients and have continued to grow exponentially.
