Sell-Side Advisory Services

  • “Gridley provided the right strategic advice upfront and then executed a high quality, efficient process in the sale of Knowledge Networks to GfK. This is a firm that is simply focused on their client’s best interest, not theirs. I highly recommend the Gridley team.”

    Fredric W. Harman, Managing Partner, Oak Investment Partners

  • “Gridley & Company gave us exactly what we were looking for: solid expertise in the marketing information industry, access to an impressive network of potential buyers, and the tenacity of a dedicated and experienced team of professionals.”

    Simon Kooyman, CEO of Knowledge Networks

  • “The Gridley team did a great job selling our company. They took a risk to get the business, stood behind their convictions, and approached the market in a smart, strategic way. Gridley listened carefully to my objectives and concerns.  They introduced us to parties outside our normal circles, ultimately resulting in a great match that led to a very successful transaction. I would highly recommend Gridley to anyone selling their company.”

    Mark Anstey, President, DataStream Content Solutions, LLC

  • “Linda Gridley has provided me with M&A guidance for 10 years—process, buyer/sellers/, valuations. She has handled 2 transactions
    for me—sold both firms—100 percent success rate.  And approximately $200 million. I recommend her services.”

    Michael W. Hail, Former CEO, Yankelovich, KnowledgeBase Marketing

  • “Linda has helped me complete three successful marketing services transactions. Each time Linda’s vast network of relationships helped to bring out both the obvious and not so obvious buyers. In one situation, we were considering a potential combination for a portfolio company and Linda pointed us in an entirely different direction. We took her advice and had a very successful sale transaction nine months later.  I seek opportunities to use Linda because I know we will be successful and get Linda’s undivided attention at every critical stage of a transaction.”

    John Struck, Partner, Wand Partners Inc.
