DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Leon Capital Group (“Leon” or “The Company”), a diversified holding company for a privately-owned group of entities, today announced the launch of a Transaction Advisory Services practice (TAS). The TAS practice will be led by Kevin Muskat who will be responsible for the growth and development of the new service offering based in Dallas. As part of a growing family office and private capital advisory services platform, the TAS practice will complement our broader pre- and post-close advisory capabilities specific to Value Creation, OCFO, Technology Consulting and Debt Capital Markets.
Mr. Muskat brings nearly 30 years of mergers and acquisitions and pre- and post-close due diligence experience. Most recently, he was a Managing Director at Accordion. Prior to that, he spent two decades at EY, where he worked as a partner in the firm’s Strategy & Transactions practice advising financial sponsors, family offices and corporates on buy- and sell-side engagements, divestitures and carve-outs.
“I am excited to join this innovative platform supported by Leon Capital Group’s long-term investment strategy of building highly differentiated businesses,” said Mr. Muskat. “In an environment where clients express concern that consultants are short-term oriented or have lost sight of fundamentals, we are eager to build an alternative exclusively focused on productive partnerships and a forward-thinking approach. Unencumbered by audit firm conflicts and restrictions, or a 3-4 year investment horizon, our focus is simple: helping our clients solve complex challenges in a more efficient and effective manner.”
“Kevin shares our vision and passion for providing tech-enabled strategies and the differentiated service offerings our clients demand,” said Travis Pittman, Managing Partner. “His deep relationships and relentless client service focus will enable us to drive value at every stage of our clients’ investment lifecycle from value creation, protection and realization.”
“We are delighted to welcome a leader of Kevin’s caliber to Leon Capital Group,” said Fernando De Leon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Leon Capital Group. “Supported by decades of experience and a commitment to innovation, this platform is built to deliver competitive solutions at greater speed. Kevin’s expertise and track record building and leading teams are a distinct advantage in that regard.”
