M&A Advisory & Outsourced Corporate Development
About Windridge
Windridge helps business owners navigate a sale and helps companies and private equity-backed platforms build and execute acquisition programs.
Focused advice. Connected execution.
M&A advisory and outsourced corporate development lead the practice, with capital advisory close to that core. Growth Strategy and Strategic Design are distinct services for businesses that need market expertise and clear communication.
Experience rooted in media, marketing, and internet-enabled businesses. Acquisition programs across technology, services, healthcare, and industrial markets. Every engagement begins with the client's objective and a defined scope of work.
The principal behind the work.
Eric Piwowar is Managing Director of Windridge. Before building the firm, he led and supported corporate-development work at System1 and Forbes Advisor across acquisitions, strategic transactions, capital initiatives, and new growth opportunities in internet-enabled businesses. He brings that operator-side perspective to focused, principal-led engagements combining market mapping, financial analysis, process execution, and high-stakes communication.
The Managing Director leads client strategy, important relationships, transaction judgment, and review of the work. Senior accountability stays with the person you meet at the first conversation.
