Jun 2022 - Present
At the forefront of Pacific Metal Group's operations, I championed the strategic consolidation of four distinct metal recycling businesses. This monumental endeavour secured a landmark $50M private equity deal, streamlining operations into a unified corporate structure. By meticulously spearheading M&A strategies and private equity partnerships, I played an instrumental role in optimising operational efficiency, laying the groundwork for a lucrative future sale.
