Recommendations
“Ben was a huge asset to me as I was working through the process of selling my software business I ran for over 15 years. Ultimately the proof is that Ben and his team were the ones who initially contacted our eventual acquirer and helped us navigate the various offers, and helping us to find the best home for me and my team. I’d hire Ben again if I were ever to go through this again.”
Clay Roach, CEO at StreamWeaver
“I worked with Ben on a second transaction together, NIC’s acquisition of senior living industry market analytics platform VisionLTC. Ben Boissevain was instrumental in the success of NIC’s acquisition of VisionLTC. Mr. Boissevain’s senior level connections in the tech sector, decades of experience in M&A, and his background in corporate law, all contributed to a highly successful transaction.”
Brian Jurutka, President and CEO The National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care
“Ben Boissevain was very helpful in the $330 million acquisition of MedAssist, providing assistance with identifying the target and negotiating and structuring the transaction. His experience and expertise in guiding us through the transaction process were extremely valuable and I would happily recommend Ben to others.”
