Selling or buying a business is rarely just a transaction; for the owner at the table, it is often the biggest decision of a lifetime. Anne has spent more than 35 years building the judgment such moments require. As a Senior Business Advisor, Anne helps owners of privately held businesses buy, sell, and transition with confidence. Her path to brokerage was built through decades of engineering leadership, operations management, and large-scale project delivery - experience that gives her a ground-level understanding of how businesses actually operate. Throughout her career, Anne led engineering departments, managed multimillion-dollar capital budgets, directed product introductions, and guided complex projects from concept through completion. She has navigated ownership changes, operational restructures, and cross-functional team leadership at every level, giving her firsthand insight into what business transitions really demand of the people involved. That background translates directly into her work as an advisor. The same discipline that kept major projects on track, the same attention to detail that protected capital investments, and the same steady presence that guided teams through change - all show up at the table for her clients. What defines Anne's approach is relationships. She listens carefully, moves deliberately, and stays calm when deals get complicated. Professional affiliations include CVBBA, IBBA, and M&A Source. A lifelong North Carolinian, Anne and her husband, Merrill, have two children. They enjoy traveling, attending sporting events, and spending time with family.
