Most investment banking firms primarily possess financial skills such as accounting, valuing businesses, financial analysis and similar disciplines. Although Colmen Menard has proven its expertise in these areas, we strongly believe in blending our financial skills with specific industry knowledge. Since its founding, our firm has emphasized the application of "operational" skills instead of only "financial" skills in addressing the needs of clients by employing a professional staff consisting exclusively of individuals possessing strong line management experience. Each member of Colmen Menard's professional staff has over twenty-five years of experience in their industry, possessing strong line and staff management experience gained in the operating business environments of major public and private industrial and service corporations. Collectively, the expertise of the staff covers almost all business disciplines including: general management, engineering, production, sales, marketing, human resources, research and development, accounting and finance. Each member of our team has had executive experience in positions with high level P&L responsibility such as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer and most have owned their own businesses at some point in their career. Our professionals have founded companies, helped turn around troubled companies, worked with entrepreneurs in developing business plans and obtaining funding, and served as Board Members for multiple companies. Colmen Menard strongly believes that this hands-on industry and operational expertise is invaluable in helping us understand your business, its markets and its products and services. Due to our ability to quickly develop this understanding, we have the capability to effectively develop and implement programs that will accomplish your goals and objectives.
