• “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

  • “As CEO of DoubleClick, we sought Gridley’s advice on potential cross channel database marketing strategies and hired Gridley to advise us on the acquisition of Performics. We were introduced to Performics at Gridley’s annual January conference and Gridley helped to keep those conversations proprietary and avoid a big auction process. Their January conference brings together an exceptional networking opportunity for senior decision makers in the internet and marketing services industries.”

    Kevin Ryan, CEO, Gilt Groupe

  • “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.
