Ep. 10: Behind the Deal: Wolverton’s Journey to Sell
What's it really like to sell your AEC firm? For founders, it’s more than a transaction—it’s a personal and professional milestone shaped by decades of hard work, innovation, and legacy-building. The path to sell your architecture or engineering firm can be emotionally charged and strategically complex.
In this episode of AEC Unscripted: M&A Edition, host Jeff Adams, Director of Mergers & Acquisitions at Stambaugh Ness, speaks with Jay Wolverton, the founding principal and former CEO, and Joe Macrina, the former COO, of Wolverton & Associates.
