Meet the team: Brendon Derr

Brendon Derr
Brendon has supported the exit and growth goals of mid-market business owners for more than 20 years. A former executive at firms in various B2B professional and technical services sectors, Brendon possesses a nuanced understanding of the trends, business models and buyer landscapes in these markets. As such he works closely with business owners in the services sectors as they prepare for and execute their business sale plans. Brendon has advised the owners and leaders of more than one hundred businesses through significant transition periods. In late 2020, he launched his own strategy consultancy to help mid-market services firms get organized around commercial growth, corporate development, and M&A exit strategies. Soon after in 2021, he led the sell-side campaign to find a strategic buyer for a multi-million dollar marketing management company. His clients have since represented a variety of services-based industries including commercial real estate, engineering, design, technology, facilities management, and HR services. Beginning in 2010, Brendon led the enterprise go-to-market and growth efforts for a start-up consulting and managed services firm. His team built a client base of several hundred enterprise clients, including brands like Walmart, Merck, Comcast, Vanguard, Pfizer, Coca-Cola, and Chevron. In 2021, the division accounted for the majority of the parent company’s revenue, which was acquired by a Fortune 500 buyer at an enterprise value of $130 million. Brendon is a graduate of Penn State University and lives in Southeastern Pennsylvania with his wife and three children.
