Hey guys - I’ve recently started my own communications consultancy specializing in M&A. I’ve done nearly 9 years of tech M&A and 2 years of biotech M&A and over $25B in transactions. Would appreciate any advice on how to get referrals or leads for upcoming projects. It’s such a specialized skill set and most comms teams don’t have the bandwidth to figure this stuff out from scratch. I’m hoping I can bring some value to the table. Any advice would be great thx!
