Brian Tumpane, Business Broker

With nearly 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur, executive and business advisor, Brian Tumpane brings a strong mergers and acquisitions background to his work. He has advised on or taken part in transactions of every size across a wide range of industries, from his own personal investments to multi-billion dollar acquisitions executed for Fortune 100 companies.

That breadth, together with a deep financial background, means Brian can handle most issues that surface during a deal quickly and appropriately.

What Brian values most about the work is meeting hundreds of entrepreneurs, hearing their stories and helping them reach the goal of a successful exit. Since every seller's situation is different and no two deals are alike, he puts real effort into understanding each owner's background and motivation. In his view, selling a business is difficult, which is why it matters to work with an experienced advisor who can guide owners through the process.

Outside of work, Brian is a busy father of three who spends many evenings and weekends at baseball, soccer and football fields, and he enjoys golf and following his favorite Chicago sports teams.
