Track Record

Brian has been involved in more than 25 M&A deals during his period as M&A boutique owner. His highly effective management skills came to the fore during GE Capital’s reorganizations. He transformed a potentially disadvantageous situation into that which, ultimately, turned out to be beneficial to the company and to the people involved. The bank’s objective was to standardize risk processes, which were performed differently by the varying branches. Rather than allowing the changes to result in limiting his control over risk processes, Brian Frank’s aptitude for innovation and his results oriented strategy mobilised him into turning the situation into an opportunity: a win-win situation. He promoted his own team to the post of headquarters. They gained a central position in the organisation. The turnaround led to a constructive situation well received by both team and management alike.
