Hello, I am Jeff Brown. I am a regional director and deal maker for Corum, based in Houston. I joined the firm in 2007 after 25 years in technology entrepreneurship including roles as founder and CEO. Much of my experience is energy related. That's natural since my education is in geology and I spent five years doing CO2 related climate change research long before it became a public concern. I initially became involved in M&A as a growth strategy and the preferred liquidity event for our software companies. I particularly enjoy this work because each client engagement is a unique challenge, I work across a broad spectrum of technology and it's a very personal business with serious implications for each CEO that I represent.
In addition to general M&A insights, my comments in this blog will also touch on some other areas that interest me. These include:
· What makes technology companies operate well and how to best measure their performance
· Trends and technologies in the traditional energy as well as sustainable energy sectors
