Brian Matthews
Director, Private Equity Services | Post-Merger Integration Management Advisor
Who I work with
I work closely with private equity companies and the leaders of their portfolio companies to empower growth and overcome challenges. I connect clients with the right Aprio specialists across the firm to address specific situations with cross-functional solutions. My clients include Fortune 100 and middle-market businesses.
My specialty
I specialize in post-merger integration management and project execution for large-scale business transactions, integrations and transformations. Whether clients recently have been acquired or have acquired a new business, I connect the dots between what has happened to date and the goals of the transaction to help overcome challenges, realize synergies and enhance return on investment.
Results I have delivered
I have deep experience driving change across the functional areas of businesses. I make sure clients have the right Aprio specialists onboard to successfully drive business objectives, from the implementation of new ways to work, financial processes and technologies, to developing sustainability and sourcing strategies for closed-loop supply chains.
Unique things about me
I grew up as a diehard New York Mets fan and was lucky enough to start my professional career working for the team for five years. Let’s go Mets!
When I am not at work
My happy places are on the golf course or around water, but my favorite pastime is trying to keep up with my two young children.
People say I am
I’ve been called a connector, a strategic problem-solver and a committed business partner.
