Connor’s practical and creative solutions create value for private equity clients during due diligence, as well as post-close separation and integration. With extensive experience in carve-outs, divestitures, and spin-offs, he can quickly assess the risk and cost implications of separating a business unit or joining organizations.
He has translated this insight into hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits – helping clients negotiate lower purchase prices, avoid excessive transition service agreement costs, and/or capture synergies.
His experience spans industries. For example, he led the carve-out of a $1.5 billion global manufacturing division and its integration with an existing US based food manufacturer of the same size. He also led the carve-out and merger of two £1 billion facilities management companies across 22 countries.
He earned a bachelor’s degree from Miami University and has attended executive management courses at the Yale School of Management. In 2024, Connor was named one of Consulting Magazine’s Rising Stars of the Profession.
