The Business Transition Sherpa, Author, Podcaster, M&A Advisor, Adjunct Professor
Consider this: 100% of business owners will leave their business one day. But few are prepared.
Laurie Barkman, the business transition sherpa, is the former CEO of a $100 million revenue company that was sold to a Fortune 50. As a mergers and acquisitions advisor, Laurie provides a structured process for business owners to plan successful transitions of their companies.
Laurie is the author of "The Business Transition Handbook: How to Avoid Succession Pitfalls and Create Valuable Exit Options." This book demystifies the often overwhelming exit process, guiding business owners who are considering leaving their ventures or simply beginning to think about their next steps.
She is an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University, and hosts the award winning podcast Succession Stories, where she speaks with hundreds of entrepreneurs who have shared their journeys through succession.
Laurie returns to Thrive LouD and shares how her book and podcast are essential resources to business owners everywhere.
