Peter Heydenrych’s Summary

I am able to draw on a depth of experience, bringing important insights to bear on the issues faced by my clients. My entrepreneurial experience, as owner of both service and manufacturing companies, provides added perspective and ability to execute successful transactions. I am a tenacious yet objective and fair negotiator on behalf of my clients.

I have more than 20 years experience in corporate finance and investment banking, including international banking and M&A. This includes time at the Big Four Public Accounting firm of Arthur Young in South Africa and London, UK. I was appointed by the Board to the Controller's staff with Barclays Bank in London.

My M&A experience developed as a Partner and Managing Director of one of the largest U.S. interior architecture and and design firms when I represented the company in a highly strategic sale to PHH, a Fortune 100 company. I transferred to PHH, and implemented a national roll-up of interior architecture & design and furniture distribution companies. I also did corporate M&A as the Chief Financial Officer and member of the Board of Directors of a $200 million ocean freight transport and logistics company with operations on 5 continents.

I joined Corporate Finance Associates in 1991, and was a member of the management team which completed a buyout of the firm in 1996. I became Chairman and CEO in 2003.

I am a Chartered Accountant (SA) and hold an MBA from the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
I also hold FINRA Series 7, 24, 28 and 63 licenses. Securites are offered through Corporate Finance Securities. Inc.
