Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisor for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the continued expansion of the firm with the opening of an office in New York, New York. The New York City offices are located in Manhattan at 125 Park Avenue at 42nd Street (25th floor).
David Fergusson, Generational Senior Managing Director and Group Leader, M&A, will lead the region from the New York office. Managing Director Musa Jagne will be located in the New York office, along with other Generational associates.
“As one of the highest volume middle market M&A advisory firms in the U.S., Generational will expand both the sell-side clients we are able to represent and increase the service we provide to the leading private equity and family office firms with establishment of an office in New York,” said Mr. Fergusson. “With international demand for Generational’s sell-side and buy-side service growing, our New Yorkoffice will be able to better support our cross-border partners as well.”
Mr. Fergusson has more than 30 years of business experience, including the creation of new companies, the acceleration of corporate growth, and global mergers and acquisitions. He frequently speaks on the subjects of financial services and corporate innovation at prominent institutions such as Cambridge and Columbia, major media outlets such as CNBC and Bloomberg, and events such as the World Economic Forum at Davos.
“While Generational has been represented in the tri-state market since its inception, the establishment of this Manhattan office represents an important milestone in the company’s history. New York is the global epicenter of M&A activity and adding this to the Generational footprint is a natural move as we continue our strategic growth plan,” said Brenen Hofstadter, Chief M&A Officer with Generational. “From New York City, our team will better serve buyers and our clients in the Northeast region, as well as a rapidly growing cadre of international investors.”
