Formed in February, 2008, BGR Capital & Trade is the result of a vision shared by Ken and BGR’s executive leadership of how to best utilize relationships, industrial knowledge, and strategically focused investment banking skills to produce optimal transaction advisory services.
Ken has nearly twenty-five years experience serving the financial needs of major corporations. As a CPA with McGladrey & Pullen for twelve years, Ken was a Senior Manager focused in Audit and Accounting and client development. In 1996, he joined Washington-based Taylor Companies, an international banking firm, as Chief Financial Officer and was assigned Chief Operating Officer responsibilities two years later.
Shortly thereafter, Ken was given the opportunity to join Taylor’s investment banking deal team where he served in a variety of positions, ultimately being named Managing Director and, finally, head of Taylor’s Strategic Investment Banking division. During his tenure with Taylor, Ken served in leadership roles on transactions valued at over $10 billion.
He has successfully advised public and private companies throughout North America and Europe as well as in South America, Africa, and the Middle East on transactions involving healthcare, chemicals, energy, and various industrial goods.
Ken has headed up projects for major multi-national clients such as General Electric, Baxter International, McDermott International, Dow Chemical, Kone Corporation, and Chiquita. In 2006, he managed the divestiture of Egypt’s largest pharmaceutical company. The common thread on each of these deals was an outcome based on the strategic value and underlying synergies to be realized by the transacting parties.
This strategic focus is one of BGR C&T’s core competencies. Through the ability to thoroughly understand and refine deal logic and to quantify deal synergies with a high level of confidence, Ken and his team offer BGR C&T’s clients an approach to M&A advisory services that produces a significantly higher probability of deal success.
Ken is a 1984 graduate of North Carolina State University with a degree in Accounting and he has served in numerous local and state-wide offices for the North Carolina Association of CPAs. He is an avid sailor and sportsman. Ken and his wife, Kim, are actively involved in leadership positions at both Grace Episcopal Church and Day School. They live in Alexandria, Va., and stay very busy with their four daughters.
