Healthcare M+A advisory firm VERTESS continues its national expansion with the addition of Hilsman Knight, an effective investment banker, as a Managing Director.
Hilsman is an alumnus of the University of Mississippi and completed his Master’s degree at Grand Canyon University, where he focused on Healthcare Management. In addition, he has a board operational and financial management experience in the specialty hospital, ambulatory surgery center (ASC), and physician practice markets. Recently, he facilitated the sale of the largest Miracle Ear franchise in Arizona to a West Coast private equity group.
“I am very excited to join the VERTESS team and hope my strong healthcare M+A background will help us expand, especially in the Western US,” Hilsman remarked. “This position allows me to grow professionally and participate in exciting transactions in the healthcare sector. There are many new encouraging developments in the UCC, ASC and specialty practice verticals and I foresee strong growth through the rest of 2017 and beyond.”
Tom Schramski, VERTESS Managing Partner, said, “Hilsman has demonstrated his expertise as a Managing Director early in his career and his future is filled with opportunity. He will help us to provide the highest quality advisory and consulting services to a growing, dynamic healthcare marketplace.”
