What Consilium Partners does

Consilium Partners is a Boston-based, sector-specialized middle market investment banking advisory firm founded in 2000 by Greg Sneddon. It provides M&A and capital raising advisory services — including sell-side advisory, buy-side advisory, growth capital, recapitalizations, divestitures, management buyouts, and fairness opinions — to privately held and publicly traded middle-market companies, private equity firms, and corporate clients. The firm organizes its practice around five dedicated sector verticals: Industrial Technology, Business Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Tech-Enabled Services, Flavor Technology, and Diversified Industries. Representative transactions span aerospace components, specialty manufacturing, healthcare services, e-prescription software, EHS compliance software, leadership development, and wire mesh distribution, with counterparty sponsors including Webster Equity Partners, Greenbriar, Graycliff Partners, Bain Capital, Harkness Capital Partners, Providence Strategic Growth, and Keystone Capital.

The firm operates with a deliberately small senior team — approximately five key professionals including the founder/Senior Managing Director (Greg Sneddon, nearly 30 years experience, $15B+ cumulative transaction value across 100+ M&A and growth financing transactions), Managing Directors (Ben Chang, Andy Greenberg), and Senior Advisors (Rick Briggs, Stephen Eccles). Each engagement is managed at the Partner level. The firm does not offer a software platform or productized technology layer; its core deliverable is bespoke senior-led advisory. Distribution leverage is provided through Consilium's core partnership in Globalscope, an international network of 400+ investment bankers across 49 countries that enables cross-border deal flow, as evidenced by engagements involving buyers and sellers based in Sweden, Ireland, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based professional service fees — typically retainers combined with success fees upon deal completion — negotiated on an engagement-by-engagement basis and not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held (Consilium Partners LLC, Massachusetts), independent of institutional or PE ownership, headquartered at 225 Franklin Street, 26th floor, Boston, MA 02110, and currently operating with no indication of acquisition, closure, or IPO.
