As MD of Sovereign Private, Paul works closely with founders to get exit-ready, from normalising financials and building long-term forecasts through to positioning the business for maximum value.


He supports the entire transaction process end-to-end - including preparing marketing materials and information memorandums, identifying and engaging strategic buyers, managing due diligence, negotiating pricing, and guiding clients through completion accounting and sale agreements.


With a strong international network, Paul and his team source buyers globally, working with corporate development and M&A teams across major organisations.
