Through XPX, I have met many leaders in their respective fields - all focused on bringing true value to their clients. XPX is a great forum to meet and get to know other professionals who could bring additional value to my clients.

XPX Maryland has been a great platform for not only meeting a new set of valuable strategic partners for me and my clients, but is also giving me a deeper understanding of how to better communicate how one's brand value fits into the full business life cycle, including the exit planning strategy.

I joined XPX because it provides me with opportunities I could not find in other organizations to expand my professional network with fantastic centers of influence that are focused on supporting business owners in creating sustainable and transferable value in their company. This unique platform enhances my ability to act as a trusted adviser to support and create value for my clients, which consist of business owners in all stages of their growth from startup to early stage capital raising, to venture capital financings, to a sale or IPO. The events are not only great for networking purposes, but are extremely informative and useful in my practice.

Membership in the Baltimore XPX provides me with a highly efficient means of maintaining contact with peers whose practice focus is advising owners of private companies in all aspects of exit planning, including addressing ownership issues and examining liquidity options. I have found that the XPX presentations and group meetings have the added benefit of allowing members to engage with other professionals in the diverse fields which serve business owners as they navigate the difficult financial and emotional processes of ownership transition.

The growth of XPX Maryland over the past two years shows there is a growing need for the collaboration of like-minded professionals on supporting business owners in creating sustainable and transferable value in their company. The success of the organization is centered on our members that share common core values and work together. In addition to being a part of a strong and growing organization, I value the relationships I have built with other members and the different ways to be involved including Monthly Meetings, Networking Events, Affinity Groups and Power Networking.
